CENTRAL Province Permanent Secretary Edwidge Mutale has rebuked some unruly pupils at Mukobeko Secondary School for drafting and sticking defiant rules at the school.
Five pupils have since been suspended from school as investigations to establish other pupils behind the rules continue.
Grade 12 pupils recently came up with 13 defiant rules against the school’s general governing principles, a move which scared teachers from attending classes.
The rules stuck on walls and trees around the school were said to govern the school against those set by the authorities.
Rules allows dodging and absenteeism, reporting late, wearing bug jackets, boys sagging, stealing and fighting, mobile phones, smoking and use of abusive language.
Other rules condemn reporting early for school, teachers from entering classrooms at will and that Grade 12 pupils could not be punished.
But Ms Mutale who addressed Grade 12 pupils last Wednesday said it was sad that pupils could engage themselves in such rebellious acts.
“I want to make you understand that education is important and everyone who wants to be somebody in life whether in business or other professional careers need education, so, don’t cheat yourself by involving yourself in such lawlessness acts that you can achieve anything,” she said.
Some female pupils wept as Ms Mutale addressed them on their conduct which she described as disappointing.
The rules forced some teachers to abandoned classes for fear of being harassed.
And Central Province Commissioner of police Standwell Lungu confirmed receiving a report and that police interviewed two pupils to assist with investigations.
