EDUCATION authorities in Bulawayo will charge headmasters who send away pupils for non-payment of fees as this is in breach of Government policy, an official said yesterday.
In an interview yesterday, the Bulawayo provincial education director (PED), Mr Dan Moyo, said they would charge headmasters who failed to abide by the policy.
However, it emerged that there was laxity in terms of enforcement of the policy as authorities in those schools that sent away pupils on Tuesday told the Ministry of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture officials who were going around schools checking the situation that no pupils had been barred from lessons.
“Sometimes we wonder whether we are getting different versions of the situations. We dispatched teams around schools and heads said schools had opened well,” said Mr Moyo.

Bulawayo is said to be operating with a deficit of about four supply dams and its population has outgrown the five dams that supply the city.
Two of the dams have been decommissioned and two more are on the brink of being cut off from the supply chain due to low levels.
