The government has dismissed the notification circulating on social media saying schools are to be closed on Friday 23 of October with immediate effect.
In a post circulating on twitter Permanent Secretary of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Nick Mangwana dismissed the claim saying:
“This is making rounds on WhatsApp. It’s not legit. Just someone ‘s sick joke,” he said
This development comes after a post emerged on WhatsApp claiming that all schools are to be closed on Friday 23 October with immediate effect because of the wild behaviour that students are doing at school in the absence of teachers.
Recently a school in Silobela, Midlands Province Loreto High School has suspended about 20 students for allegedly engaging in sexual activities during the June examination period.
Meanwhile, teachers are still on strike ever since schools reopened on 28 September for the writing classes, ZCTU last week urged the government to close schools till teachers returned to work after a video of a nasty classroom fight circulated on social media.
