Parents have been urged keep an eye on their children to make sure they did not bring weapons and unwanted items to school.

The South African Democratic Teachers Union in Mpumalanga has lambasted the department of education for failing to prevent pupils from entering schools with dangerous weapons and illegal items.

“This is a testimony to our concern that teachers are teaching under very difficult conditions where they are scared to discipline pupils because they bring weapons into the premises. On Tuesday, the police led by community safety, security and liaison MEC Jackie Macie, arrived unannounced Bhekiswako, Siphumelele, Khanyisani and Lungisani secondary schools where they confiscated knives, machetes, hammers, daggas, illicit cigarettes and crushed pills.

“Learning and teaching should be respected … bringing weapons and drugs to school should be curbed. That is why we continue to have these unannounced visits to support the department of education to create a safer environment for teaching and learning.”
