The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education says it has mechanisms in place to deal with drug and substance abuse in schools in order to create a safe learning environment for all learners.
This comes after Dominican Convent High School in Harare expelled eight learners who were allegedly found in possession of drugs stashed in their belongings during a recent school trip to Nyanga.
Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education spokesperson Taungana Ndoro said that school heads are obliged to suspend a learner for 14 days where they reasonably suspect them of serious misconduct, pending investigation. He further explained:
<blockquote>
If the head is satisfied, after a fair hearing, that the learner is guilty of serious misconduct that merits expulsion after consultation with the district schools inspector, then the pupils will be expelled.
Where a head has decided to expel a learner, they should give the parents written notice of the date on which the expulsion is to take effect, and, in the notice, they should state the reason for the decision to expel the learner.
Upon being notified of the expulsion, parents may appeal in writing to the provincial education director within 14 days of receiving the notice.
While the appeal is being determined, the learner who has been expelled is permitted to attend school.
However, provided that if the head of the school believes, on reasonable grounds, the learner’s attendance may lead to indiscipline or may result in injury of another person or damage to property, the head can prevent the learner from attending school for no more than a month after the appeal has been launched.
</blockquote>
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the police are carrying out the investigations into the Dominican Convent matter. | <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/measures-to-tackle-drug-abuse-in-schools">The Sunday Mail</a>

Govt Says There Are Mechanisms To Tackle Drug Abuse In Schools

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is investigating the case of drug abuse at Dominican Convent High School in Harare following the suspension of eight learners for violating the school’s drug policy.
The school recently expelled eight Form Six girls for abusing drugs at the 2023 U6 leadership camp which was held in Nyanga from the 12th to the 15th of January.
ZRP national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said investigations are now underway to ascertain what happened. He said:
<blockquote>
We are conducting investigations to find out what happened because no report had been made before.
As we speak, our team from the CID is there to find out what really happened and we will issue a comprehensive statement.
</blockquote>
Drug dealers are reportedly using social media, mainly Instagram to market drugs they in turn package as cakes, chocolates, and biscuits they deliver at the school entrance.
A former student at the school told <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/drug-menace-police-probe-elite-school/">Business Times</a> that the latest development is only the tip of the iceberg adding drug abuse is widespread. Said the former student:
<blockquote>
We have seen this happening and drugs being brought in and out of the school where someone creates an Instagram page where they market these substances as cakes or anything but with weed or some kind of drug inside and they deliver at the school gate.
It is really everywhere and I think now it is out there because the school has issued a statement and some were caught but it is really everywhere with some schools calling in sniffer dogs. It everywhere.

DRUG ABUSE: Police Probe Dominican Convent High School

Dominican Convent High School has expelled eight Form six students with immediate effect for violating the school’s drug policy. 
In a statement seen by Pindula News, the institution which is the oldest school in Harare told parents that investigations are ongoing adding that more could be found guilty. Reads the statement dated 26 January 2023:
<blockquote>Dear parents/guardians 
<h2>EXCLUSION OF STUDENTS FROM DOMINICAN CONVENT HIGH SCHOOL HARARE</h2>
I write on a sad note to notify you that the 8 girls we had put on suspension pending Investigations on an incident that took place at the 2023 U6 leadership camp which was held in Nyanga from the 12th to the 15th of January, have been excluded from the school with immediate effect. The disciplinary committee exercised all principles of procedural fairness and found the girls guilty of violating the school drug policy. (see the school website for details)
My heart aches for these girls and their parents but my duty of care is to ensure that the school environment is, as far as is practicable, safe and free from all risks. I have a responsibility to the whole school community and possessing, using or supplying a restricted substance including vaping is not acceptable. Investigations are still ongoing and we will not hesitate to weed out any more culprits to sanitise the school space.
I pray that the girls will receive the rehabilitation they need and that ALL parents take an active role, in partnership with the school, to modify the inappropriate behaviour of their children. I believe that school officials’ efforts to protect students from the dangers of substance abuse are sometimes hampered by parents and community members in denial about the pervasiveness of the problem and the potential for any child to succumb to the lures of drugs.
I appeal to parents to be more vigilant and active by refining their parenting skills and being aware of their children’s activities as our investigations show that the pervasive behaviour started at home.
I will keep you posted on any further developments. Be blessed. 
Yours sincerely 
Sr Kudzai Mutsure O. P.
