Bayelsa State Commissioner for Education, Hon. Dr. Gentle Emelah, recently conducted a routine inspection at Community Primary School 1 & 2 Angalabiri in Sagbama LGA.
During his visit, he discovered pupils washing freshly harvested cassava in the school premises during learning hours.
The pupils revealed that they had not received any lessons that day and had been tasked by their teachers to harvest cassava.
Upon interrogation, the teachers admitted to assigning the pupils this work and pleaded for forgiveness.
Expressing great displeasure, Dr. Emelah summoned the Head Teacher, who was absent, along with all other teachers at the school, to report to his office in Yenagoa for sanctions.
