@encanews: A 16-year-old's future hangs in the balance after Cosmo City Secondary School refused to readmit him after returning from initiation. His parents say they followed the required process and formally applied for permission for their son to be absent from school. Tune in to #eNCA on #DStv403.

The principal caused himself unnecessary stress. Let him back to school. Let the curriculum continue, his parents will see how he catch up or prepare him to repeat the grade. Simple.

So a little over 5 whole months in initiation school?! That’s half a year. How is the school meant to facilitate such a gap, especially for just one learner?! Aibo. Someone please educate me, maybe I am missing something here.

4 months, lest we forget school is about 10 months a year. Basically they missed 40% of the school year. Ae they should just allow the pupil to continue.

i am with the principal..Five months is an excessive duration. Furthermore, according to the last verification of SA-SAMS, the system automatically disenrolls a learner who has been absent for 20 consecutive days.

5 months? How will that child catch up when they’ve missed so much? We respect tradition but other things need common sense.
