Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>A parliamentary site visit to Leribe\u2019s UNESCO-sponsored schools has uncovered shocking levels of dagga abuse among male students at St Philip\u2019s High School, raising concerns over the growing social and mental health challenges facing Lesotho\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n

The visit, conducted this week by the Parliament\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Committee with support from the Southern African Development Community Parliamentary Forum (SADC PF), sought to assess the impact of Life Skills-Based Sexuality Education (LBSE) in local schools.<\/p>\n

What the committee found was beyond learning challenges as the visit exposed an unsettling trend.<\/p>\n

St Philip\u2019s principal, \u2019Mampoi Hlasoa, did not mince her words as she described her growing concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the face of it the way these students seem to be well behaved \u2014 so obedient and neat \u2014 you would swear it\u2019s a lie when we say they abuse dagga left, right, and centre. While you will not even see or catch them red-handed, their performance shows they are mentally affected,\u201d Ms Hlasoa said.<\/p>\n

She said she had observed that the problem often begins after the Christmas holidays when boys return from initiation school.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they come back, they will be totally changed,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Even more distressing, she noted, is that most of the boys come from poverty-stricken backgrounds so the Ministry of Social Development sponsors their education.<\/p>\n

Many are orphans or are being raised by grandparents while their parents work in South Africa. Out of 208 students, only 37 are supported by their parents, while the rest depend on sponsorships.<\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, Ms Hlasoa hailed the introduction of the LBSE programme, saying it had yielded significant results, especially in reducing teenage pregnancies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2018\/19 we had 11 pregnant students, but this year we only had one \u2014 who just gave birth and is now writing her Grade 11 final exams,\u201d she said proudly.<\/p>\n

However, she conceded that the school\u2019s academic performance remains worrisome.<\/p>\n

Under the LBSE programme, school principals issue students with referral forms each time they leave school during learning hours. The forms should be filled in by the authorities from the place they would have visited to ensure school heads account for their whereabouts.<\/p>\n

Against this background, Ms Hlasoa urged MPs to consider providing similar referral forms for teachers whenever they ask to go on personal errands such as banking or medical attention because a lot of teaching time is lost so their absences should be properly accounted for.<\/p>\n

The District Education Officer and Northern Region LBSE Inspector, \u2019Mamotlatsi Khomari, acknowledged that LBSE had changed attitudes and reduced stigma \u2014 but said continuous teacher training was vital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe change started with teachers\u2019 attitudes. Regular workshops have made a difference, but there\u2019s a need for ongoing capacitation because new teachers join all the time,\u201d Ms Khomari said.<\/p>\n

LBSE teacher, Nthabiseng Thamae, added that the subject had broken long-standing taboos.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore, menstruating girls were accused of engaging in sexual activity. Now, both boys and girls understand the changes that come with growing up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Another teacher, Ntsamaeng Jafeta, appealed to the MPs to ensure that the government supplies them with teaching guides for their different subject because many are teaching without proper guidance.<\/p>\n

Responding to the concerns, SDG Committee member, \u2019Makatleho Motsoasele, urged the schools to collaborate with police in combating dagga abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cIllegal dagga use and possession is a crime. It\u2019s killing these children slowly,\u201d she warned.<\/p>\n

Another Committee member, Remaketse Sehlabaka, expressed concern over what he dubbed the \u201cself-raised generation\u201d saying that television and absentee parents were corrupting young minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents are always busy while television raises the children. Teachers, you must play a parental role, and we as MPs must also do more,\u201d he said, calling for regular inspection of students\u2019 bags and a review of children\u2019s rights laws that limit parental authority.<\/p>\n

At Mahobong High School, principal \u2019Mamorare Toronko appealed for more subject-specific teachers, saying only four staff members manage eight LBSE grades for 370 students.<\/p>\n

LBSE teacher, Mamithe Mabokoane, shared how her \u201cGirls Talk\u201d project has helped reduce teenage pregnancies \u2014 from four last year to one this year \u2014 by providing a safe space for girls to discuss sensitive issues.<\/p>\n

Another Committee member, \u2019Malelaka Lehohla Malakane, praised the dedication of LBSE teachers and suggested they should be given incentives for their extra effort.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Linot\u0161ing High School principal, \u2019Masakoane Mathaba Moloi, painted a grim picture of children left behind by parents who migrate to South Africa, leaving grandparents to raise them alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of these children haven\u2019t even registered for enrolment. They are abandoned,\u201d she lamented, urging MPs to consider reducing the eligibility age for old age grants so that more grandparents can secure income to care for the children better.<\/p>\n

The SDG committee chairperson, Itumeleng Rant\u0161o, concluded that dagga abuse at St Philip\u2019s and gender-based violence at Mahobong remain the most pressing challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe promise to take these issues up with the authorities and ensure these are followed up until solutions are found,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
