Parents and graduating students of an Ondo State based Private secondary school were reportedly left in shock after the school allegedly printed names of students owing a meagre N5,000 in the school magazine
An Ondo State secondary school has come under fire from social media users after they turned a day of joy for parents who paid a whopping N104,000 per term, for the education of their children for six whole years, to a day of sorrow, humiliation and pain, over a debt of N5,000
It was gathered from the aggrieved Twitter user who shared the story, Bhadmus Hakeem @Bhadoosky that the names of final year students who didn’t contribute towards the purchase of a 32 inch television set in the school’s send-forth magazine were printed, and labelled as debtors.
In his words;
In defence of the school, Austin Duyi the School Coordinator said
When asked if the students were the ones to put the names of indebted students in the magazine, Duyi said,
“In every school magazine, there is a page given to the student to allow themselves to express themselves. They are the ones who wrote everything and said it should be printed. It is, therefore, a surprise to us that someone would pick up only that column of the magazine, which is between 60-70 pages. The person didn’t see the good aspects of the school, only the negative. We are shocked.
What would you do if you find out your child’s name was printed on his/her school’s send forth magazine as “Debtor” because he/she didn’t pay N5000 to buy the school a parting gift? A school you were paying N104,000 per term for six years? Thread

On a graduation day, the worst thing you can ever do to a parent and child is make them sad and also document their sadness forever. How do you explain unprofessionalism of this magnitude to people? What were the school management trying to achieve with this stupidity? pic.twitter.com/Qnb2RK9QRb

And as you know, fingers are not equal, a student that could pay 104,000 naira as tuition for a term is now being ridiculed in magazine that can reach the end of the planet because of 5k parting gift

Imagine putting this out for the whole world to see. Meanwhile, those that payed part of the money, there names and amount paid were equally written out. How petty can a school owned by learned people be? What history are they trying to make? pic.twitter.com/q86G9Gc2Ro

Meanwhile, each student paid N15,000 for bespoke suits from the school. A low standard suits produced to make money off parents. Are schools suppose to melt out punishment on parents who work round the clock to pay these humongous amount of money?

And when Mr Austin Duyi (+2347066621124), the school administrator was called to ask why this was done, all he could say was that the students didnt meet up with school request, hence they printed their names out. No apologies. No remorse. No human feelings. No sense whatsoever pic.twitter.com/eSg46y5Hpd

At a point during the graduation, the graduating students were given bowls to go get money from the audience. How can you be so mad about making money that you turned kids to Bambiala Children and still shamed them by announcing the amounts each student got from begging?

These Private school owners need to be called to order. Parents can’t be paying huge amount and all you will be doing is insult them with damaging actions. Government needs to start checking the excesses. Imagine a school in Ondo state, not Lagos state paying N104,000 per term.
