Below is the fullTwitter thread from Chimamaka:
“I applied for
transfer myself and 11 other colleagues of mine and I have been studying
medicine for the past 7 years that is why I have a matriculation number with
SSE not CHS when I got into school my father met up with every school fees put
out no matter the increment.”
“But since his
retirement five years ago things have gone from bad to worse and become so
difficult. I was allowed to continue my clinicals with an undertaken promising
that I would pay up but I wasn’t able to pay up and it became mandatory that no
one would be allowed to sit for professional examinations without complete
payment of fees.
“I started a
fundraising to help pay my fees but didn’t meet up and I missed the main
examination but was allowed under an undertaken and general plea from my
lectures to the school to sit for the resit exams.
“Trust me if I had
known things would get this bad I would have dropped out four years ago and
done something else with my life. Thirdly concerning the locked DM trust me I
don’t even know how to manipulate twitter not to speak of locking my DM.
“I apologize for the
inconvenience and promise to get it fixed. Thank you all so much. God bless
you.”

Well, Bowen is owned by The Baptist Church therefore the Church should be able to shoulder the responsibility of the education of those those who are not too rich among the 'flock'. If it is tithes, offerings, Donations and sowing of seeds it is the same people that are responsible still. The school was build from this money and it is pure injustice if the children of those who contributed in one way or the other cannot afford to go to the school.
