Nwaka said that schools should not only be interested in economic gain but the welfare of pupils.
“Schools should not cover up teachers who segxwally abuse children.
“Parents should not be carried away by aesthetics of schools. This case may just be the tip of the iceberg as a lot of our children are suffering in silence.

“I advise or recommend that the education and social welfare ministry workers should visit schools randomly to give them a check.”
