According to them, the headmaster, Francis Tia Dokurugu\u2019s \u201cinefficiency\u201d is contributing to the poor performance of students.<\/p>\n
They further posited that the headmaster was at loggerheads with the teaching staff.<\/p>\n
The students accused the appointing authorities of renewing Tia Dokurugu\u2019s contract after his retirement.<\/p>\n

The school lacks infrastructural development and the major concern is students\u2019 dormitory and staff accommodation.<\/p>\n
Similar incidents have been recorded in the past where a\u00a0school in the Sawla Tuna Kalba district,\u00a0in the Northern region was closed down on the 12th of February 2015, after students demonstrated, because a male teacher allegedly ordered a female student to strip naked for dressing inappropriately.<\/p>\n
