Team to probe Grace Memorial drama

A DELEGATION from the Morobe education board, led by secondary school inspector Gesengsu Aisi, is expected to travel to Wau in Bulolo district to investigate a controversy that is rocking the administration of Grace Memorial Secondary School, The National reports.

The controversy began last December when parents of students attending the school petitioned the board to transfer the principal, Ipisa Wanega, elsewhere for alleged mismanagement.

The parents alleged that, among others, there had not been any board meetings and financial acquittals for the 2010 academic year.

The parents were not happy that their petition was ignored by the board and the principal was allowed to stay.

In the events following, a letter was written to the principal demanding acquittals of 2010 financial year for the parents, teachers and students to know.

Deputy principal academic Lupain Philips, who was a signatory in the letter, was assaulted by the principal in front of the teachers who met for a discussion in their staff room last week.

Philips was believed to have taken the matter up with police in Wau for the principal to be charged with assault but attempts to contact Wau police station commander Paul Acca were unsuccessful.

Classes have not been affected
