Sodomy scandals rock Zim schools

A SENIOR official in the Primary and Secondary Education ministry has revealed a shocking culture of sexual abuse in schools perpetrated by school staff, with cases having gone unreported for years.

This admission came after NewsDay inquired about an alleged incident of sexual abuse committed by a senior staff member at Allan Wilson Boys High School in Harare.

In response to the inquiry, the official acknowledged that sexual abuse of learners by school staff was not a new issue, but “rampant in schools” across the country.
