A MATHEMATICS teacher, who was SACKED from a school in Shamva for allegedly impregnating a Form 3 student, had a history of having improper relationships with his students.
The teacher, identified only as Mr Vurayayi, was dismissed from Jiti High School for alleged misconduct.
Jiti High School headmaster, identified as Mr Banda, confirmed that concerns were raised, by parents and guardians, to school authorities.
“The school fired the teacher,” Banda said.
“He was a student teacher and there had also been another reported case of immorality involving a different learner.
“We have communicated this to members of the school development committee.
“The school has taken action and we do not tolerate any indiscipline by both staff members and learners.”
Vurayayi’s dismissal, after he allegedly impregnated the student, was a dominant subject among parents who gathered in Harare yesterday as their kids returned to school for the Third Term.
“Your teacher impregnated a student when he is supposed to protect and teach our children,” one parent said.
“The school should be responsible and safeguard learners while they are in your care.”
The other hot topic was related to the increase in the transport charges.
“You are demanding US$12 to transport our children from Harare to Shamva using ZUPCO, which we believe is cheaper than other buses,” a parent said.
“Apart from that money, you are also asking for US$30.
“We are aware this US$30 is for extra lessons, which should be clearly explained.”
