HakiElimu commends state for swift action on Mbeya incident



A local non-profit civil society organisation, HakiElimu has commended the government for taking quick response in ensure legal measures are taken against three teachers appearing in a video clip battering a Form Three student of Mbeya Day Secondary School.

in line with that, the organisation called for the state to ensure security is well instituted to a teacher, Ms Esther Harembo of Iringa University who disclosed the information to the public through the video clip that went viral on social media.

The Executive Director of HakiElimu, Mr John Kalage, made the call yesterday in Dar es Salaam, commending Ms Harembo for disclosing the incident to the public. “We (HakiElimu) highly commend the teacher who disclosed the incident to the public, helping the government to take measures.

The state should ensure security to the teacher in order to protect her from harm following the incident,” he said.

In another development, Mr Kalage expressed need for the government to put up a better system that would ensure bad acts against teachers and students are quickly reported to the concerned authorities.

Mr Kalage said the incident in Mbeya Day Secondary School is among many and unreported incidents highly practiced in public schools, with some teachers practising atrocious acts against students. He said that a research conducted by UNICEF 2011 on violence against children in the country indicated a high number of violence incidents against children in schools.

“In the report, teachers were pointed as the main people involved in violation acts against their students, “ he said, adding that the government should also ensure rules and procedures that would oversee and ensure discipline to both teachers and students are adhered to in order to avoid such acts in school.

On the other hand, the Manager of Research and Policy Analysis Unit, Mr Godfrey Bonventure, asked the state to speed up the formation of Teachers Professional Board meant to oversee better management of teachers in the country.


Mr Bonventure said formation of the board would help oversee teacher’s conducts, thereby taking legal measures to ensure employment of teachers with sound and good conducts and adherence to their professional ethics.
