Kuwadzana 1 Council Primary Segregates Learners Over Fees
Kuwadzana 1 Council Primary Segregates Learners Over Fees – Kuwadzana 1 Council Primary School in Harare has ignited public outcry after implementing a policy that separates learners based on the payment of school fees.
This move comes in direct contradiction to a government directive that prohibits schools from excluding or discriminating against pupils over unpaid fees.
