Where is the due process?
Dear Editor,
Last week, I got a telephone call from a distraught mother who told me that her child was peremptorily expelled from a leading secondary school on being found with a cell phone.
This is the fifth complaint I have received since May of children being expelled from this school without an inquiry and the right to a defence.
Minister Baksh‘s position is that he cannot interfere with this particular policy of the school. I told the mother that her only recourse is an injunction from the courts. But there are the members of the Rights of the Child Commission.
The Commission is not officially functioning (I doubt we will see any of the Constitutional Commissions in place before the 2011 elections) but these parents should approach them for redress.
Sadly, two PNCR Parliamentarians know about these unwarranted expulsions and have not gone to these courts and the media or raise the issue in Parliament.
