Education secretary Brij Lal punishes Labasa school principal who confronted him & via High Court over awarding of ZEROs to his students in Biology exams - Principal removed to Education Office, Labasa

4/2/2014

VINDICTIVENESS and bullying has become the hallmark of those who rode to power on the knob of Frank Bainimarama's guns. One such bully boy is the online internet PhD holder Brij Lal, the permanent secretary for Education.

We may recall the story where eleven Labasa Sangam College students were awarded zero marks in their biology exams. In December Brij Lal was chief guest at the school's annual prize giving day. The principal of the school, Subhas Chandra Singh, gave a speech in which he questioned the decision to award his students zero marks.

The students were also successful in obtaining a judicial review from the Fiji High Court.

Well, both the speech and the court decision did not go down well with Brij Lal. The court ruling was made on 17 January 2014 and three days later, on the 20th, the day schools opened in Fiji, Singh went to Education Office to find out why another principal had been sent to replace him.

He was informed that he had been removed on the instructions of Brij Lal. The letter was handed to him by Kolinio Takali, the Principal Education Officer, Macuata, and titled "Temporary Attachment": "As instructed by Permanent Secretary please be advised that you are to be temporarily attached at Labasa Education office."

Sources inside the Labasa Education Office told Fijileaks that vindictive Brij Lal even asked Satya Nand Shandil, the Divisional Education Officer Northern (in charge of Northern Education Office)  to write a negative report against principal Singh but he refused. Singh, after all, is not only a school principal but is also a respectable pillar of society, and officiates as a pandit.

To date, Singh has not been given any reason for his removal. He has been replaced by Kamlesh Prasad who used to be at Muslim College in Labasa, and a regime sympathizer. He is now acting principal.

One villager said of Singh: "This poor guy is reporting at Education Office like a prisoner."

Brij Lal, be a regime bully boy - we will bring all of you to justice if and when elections are held in September - hopefully you, your bosses Frank and Khaiyum will be my guests at Naboro Prison.

We are compiling a lists of all traitors since the 2006 coup.

Keshwan Padyachi never won any election in Labsas.

He stood for NFP , Fiji Teaher's Union etc and never won.

It will be FLP all the way in the north.

Why the poor farmers children were given zero in Biology.

This children did not deserve this from Brij Lal and company.

Mr Subhas Singh is a man of integrity and he is the one who uplifted the standard of Labasa Sangam College after Satendra Kumar left.
Padyachi is a selfish and ignorant man who never helped anybody in his life apart from his own self.
Shame on Brijlal and Padyachi for such an childish act.

Where is freedom of Speach?

Let me correct this a bit:

The ex Principal Mr Subhash Singh was presenting his annual report during the prize giving ceremony at the school. He presented all the events which happened through out the year. Students being given zero was part of that event.

What was insulting there for Brijlal?

Why did Brijlal walked away from the ceremony without completing for what he was the chief guest?

Brijlal actually wanted to join AG - Khaiyum at another school where AG was the chief guest. I saw both Padyachi and Brijlal at Valoca where AG was presenting annual prize to students of Ahmadia College.

This is just unacceptable. And they think we will vote for them?

Rubbish

From the comments noted above, I am extremely pleased to see that people take note of incidents. We must not allow a bunch of self righteous bullies take away our right to self determination. All those that benefitted and are benefitting from this Regime and selfish people who have their own families and pockets as their main motivation. Sad and shame on them. Thank you Mr Subash Singh for your principled stand. Our children deserve better respect than what they got. You cannot have marks ranging in 85-90's in the other subject as when you achieve similarly in Biology...you must have copied. Sad mentality. Somethings really wrong with this people I cant even comprehend. Lialia.
