Many learners do not have guidance at home and, as a result, attend school under the influence of drugs or alcohol, a situation that is undesirable and discouraging to teachers.

The Minister of Education, Arts, and Culture, Anna Nighipondoka, made this assertion on Wednesday when she officially announced the National Ordinary and Advanced Subsidiary results.

Nghipondoka did not mince her words when she called for active parental involvement in the academic affairs of their children.
