MoE to probe irregularities in school admissions

View(s):

The Ministry of Education (MoE) has opened an inquiry into a series of complaints of irregularities in school admissions, including instances of bribery.
Some of the allegations of bribery are to be referred to the Bribery Commission for further investigations. A senior official said that some of the previous Principals of the respective schools had been removed on allegations of bribery, while similar allegations have cropped up again.

He said that, among the allegations are that, some of the eligible students have been eliminated in order to accommodate ineligible students. “Orders have been given to the Internal Audit to conduct investigations and depending on their outcome, transfers will take effect,” the official said.
He said that some of the Principals were already campaigning against their possible transfers.

The Education Times learns that one of the complaints has already been lodged with the Bribery Commission. – DW
