Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 23544, member: 2262"] Private School Faces Crisis Over Missing Exam Fees. A scandal has hit Knowstics Academy in Nyanga, Zimbabwe. Students wait for their test results after school leaders take more than $40,000 meant for exam fees. The government started investigating the problem. Education leaders sent a team to investigate what happened at the school. The timing is worse for students. They have just five days left to prepare for their next level of school, which starts January 27. The school told parents on January 16 that the British Council had not given out the test scores. The reason? Former school leaders took the money parents paid for the tests. The school tried to fix things with the British Council. They spent a full day talking but got nowhere. The school might take legal action to get the results released. This trouble comes right after Knowstics Academy asked for help to save its business last month. The school wants parents to help push the British Council to share the results. The British Council stayed quiet when asked about this. Their office in Harare turned away reporters, saying they had nothing to share. Richard Gabaza, who leads education in the area, said they heard about this on Friday. His team wants to know how many students lost their money. The school has faced other problems. Workers sued the school in 2023 because they did not get paid. The government watches the situation closely. Moses Mhike, a top education leader, said new classes will start soon. Students will pay less for school since they missed part of the term. The school promises to tell the police about the missing money and to get back the $41,272 from the people who took it. But first, they want to make sure students get their test results. [/QUOTE]
