There are evidences to that effect and appropriate time, if it is approved, we will have to mention schools”.Mr. Dodovi will not mention names, but points out the Regional Minister is appalled by attempts to turn the schools into arena of politics and draw students into it.He disagrees to suggestion Regional Coordinating Council wants to put fear into teachers.“Investigation is still ongoing and our cameras are everywhere. We will definitely come to that. We cannot just get up and conjure this. No.” Mr. Dodovi insisted.Meanwhile, the regional branch of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Schools has declined comments on the matter.Regional executives say the matter has not come to their attention.
