School Deputy Head Forces Teachers To Endorse Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3
By A Correspondent -Well-placed sources revealed on Friday that a deputy head at a private school in Chiredzi has been reportedly pressuring teachers to endorse the Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3.
According to insiders, the deputy head has been instructing staff to complete forms supporting the bill, raising concerns about the misuse of authority within the school.
One source explained:
“He is the deputy head, and he is forcing teachers to fill in the forms to show their support for Amendment Number 3. Staff feel they have no choice but to comply,” the source said.
The revelations have sparked outrage among educators and parents, who argue that such actions undermine the independence of teachers and the voluntary nature of political participation.
The deputy head’s insistence on mandatory endorsements has been described by some staff as “intimidation,” with fears that non-compliance could affect employment or professional standing.
As the debate around Amendment Bill Number 3 continues nationwide, this incident in Chiredzi highlights concerns over coercion and political pressure within educational institutions, raising calls for stricter oversight and protection of teachers’ rights.
