Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry Education has expressed sadness over involvement of children in demonstrations. This follows learners\u2019 photos circulating on social media where school children are seen carrying placards with political connotations.<\/p>\n

In press statement signed by Education Ministry Principal Secretary (PS) Chikondano Mussa states that while authorities recognize that the Constitution of the Republic of Malawi allows citizens to carry out demonstrations but should not be involved into protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinistry would like to advise parents, guardians, teachers, private school operators, activists and the general public that school children should and must not be used in demonstrations during school hours as this is Harmful to their education.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch acts violate children\u2019s right to education because they disturb the teaching and learning process in schools and are not in the best interest of the children,\u201d says Mussa.<\/p>\n

He therefore said the ministry strongly advise activists or any other stakeholders to immediately cease and desist from involving children in demonstrations during school time.<\/p>\n

Mussa added that Ministry will not hesitate to engage the appropriate law enforcement agencies to ensure that the children\u2019s right to education is not violated. This comes after a grouping of activist led by Bon Kalindo is said to have involved school learners in Mulanje\u2019s demonstrations.<\/p>\n
