There has been complaints from the community that lives around Chelilis girls high school in Bureti constituency, the area that is under the MP ,Hon; Franklin bett.The people have complained very bitterly of the behaviors of the schools principal towards the schools surrounding community in general .The people have complaint that the principal doesn’t have any respects for them yet they are the ones who made the decision that lead to the building of the school .They are the ones who provided the funds that built the school ,they also provided the land on which the school was built . They are the ones who caused the existence of the school.
The people complained that this principal is treating them as if the school was not their own. He gives all the tenders to people from out side the area while they themselves can provide all the manpower that the school will need to run. The people complained that all the jobs from teachers to the sub-ordinate staff of the school have all been taken by outsiders, yet the people of the area have people who can teach in the school. The people that we talked to said that even the cabbages and beans that they can supply to the schools are fetched from places as far as litein and sotik, yet they have enough .The people said that all these jobs have been taken by the people from the principal’s homeland. Every time a job opportunity appears, he goes for his own people instead of advertising and employing people from this area. The areas community wants the schools driver to be expelled from work.
A spokes man form the area told us that recently, elders from the area held a meeting to discus about this matter .The main topic of the discussion was to press for changes in the school .The meeting decided to press for the school to be given back to that community. They want everything about the school to be decided by the community and not outsiders. They want all the tendering for the supply of food and everything that the school will need ,the staff and sub-ordinate staff ,all to be taken by the people of that area, and they demanded for respect form the current members of the school staff up to everyone who will come to work in the school in the future .
They said that the schools principal doesn’t respect them, yet they are the ones who built the school. Because of this treatment from the principal, the group of elders agreed together that everyone who will go to work In the school to maintain good relations with the areas community and not like the current hostile relations that exist now. The wanted the school staff to be consulting the either the group of elders before carrying on with any projects or any other members of that community.
The group of elders said that the schools performance in the national exams was very poor and so they wanted the board of governors to investigate the cause of the poor performance and find the solution to this .They also said that They wanted the board of governors to help develop the primary school which the land was divided and the high school was built on. They wanted them to help to build more classes and, laboratories, lavatories and much more that the school lacks.
