Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Students at Masvingo Teachers\u2019 College have pleaded with responsible authorities to intervene and stop some lecturers from demanding cash for marks.<\/p>\n

The students allege lecturers in the Professional Studies Syllabus (PSA) and Art Professional Syllabus B, are demanding US$ 10 if the students are to pass given assignments in the two departments.<\/p>\n

Disgruntled students who spoke to TellZim News claimed that their lecturers deliberately make sure that fail their assignments if they refuse to meet their demands. A student who chose not to be identified said:<\/p>\n

Our lectures are giving us lower marks even if you meet the demands of the assignments.<\/p>\n

Because we want to pass, we are forced to pay for better marks.<\/p>\n

Another student who also declined to be identified said they are now caught between a rock and a hard place. Said the student:<\/p>\n

We are calling for the responsible authorities to take action against this type of corruption as we have no option but to pay lecturers in order to pass.<\/p>\n

Contacted for comment by TellZim News, one of the lecturers in question said he cannot comment as he is not allowed to speak to the media.<\/p>\n

The college\u2019s principal Benson Mutambudzi declined to comment saying the matter is under investigation. He said:<\/p>\n

The matter is under investigation, so I cannot comment on it at the moment.<\/p>\n
