Parents decry dismissal of 700 students from lycée de Mbaïboum

Despite the holidays, an overheated atmosphere reigns at the lycée de Mbaïboum, in Mayo-Rey. A few weeks into the 2014/2015 school year, the parents of the 700 students dismissed at the end of the 2013/2014 school year are beleaguered.

Information confirmed by the representative of the parents Alim Koumaï and general supervisor of the school, Victor Sopélé.

In fact, parents did not appreciate the exclusion of their offsprings decided by Principal Michel Obama Eyebe. The head of the school however, refuses to change his decision and points an accusing finger on the behaviour of students.

Meanwhile, the parents do not know where to register their children, because there is only a single secondary school in this city. "We have a rope around the neck.

Indeed, during the school year 2013/2014 high school of Mbaimboum had a recorded of 1056 students. A good source introduced in this school, informed us that on the 1056 registered students, 700 have been dismissed from school at the end of the school year.

"He is the head of the institution, he must at least be present at the high school to find out what is happening.. But I swear to you that he comes to school only at the end of classes and at the end of the school year.

Other periods of the year, he visits only one to two times per month. In addition, I am surprised at his decision. Only the disciplinary board is empowered to exclude a student. But he takes all decisions”, complains a teacher.

For the principal, Michel Obama, they are people who do not want his administration who spread such gossips, because according to him, they simply want to tarnish his image and hierarchy.

"I recognize well to have dismissed 700 students in a high school like Mbaimboum, it can raise questions. I must tell you that these students for the most part are excluded for insolvency of the registration fees, and the number of hours of absences that do not meet our rules', explains the principal.
