Chitiga said the two educators were facing charges of improper conduct with pupils.

“We do not tolerate misappropriate conduct with pupils,” he said.


The matters came to light after parents petitioned the Primary and Secondary Education ministry over several cases of male teachers having affairs with students and impregnating and marrying them to pacify their gullible parents, who are ravaged by drought year-in, year out.

In the petition, parents claimed that six teachers from the same school were allegedly involved in the misdeed.

However, Chitiga said they only actedon two teachers.
