Eros Primary School Secretary Under Investigation for Alleged Fraud. A secretary at Eros Primary School in Windhoek is under investigation for allegedly defrauding parents by collecting unauthorized registration fees amounting to thousands of Namibian dollars.
According to a report by The Namibian, the secretary is accused of charging parents for school registration, despite these fees not being officially sanctioned by the school or the Ministry of Education. It is alleged that the funds collected were not recorded in the school’s financial records, raising concerns about misappropriation.
Several parents reportedly came forward after noticing irregularities in the payment process. Their complaints prompted school authorities to launch an internal review, which later led to the involvement of law enforcement. The investigation aims to determine the full extent of the alleged fraud and whether additional individuals were involved.
Eros Primary School has yet to release an official statement regarding the case. However, education officials have reassured parents that appropriate action will be taken if any wrongdoing is confirmed. The incident has also sparked broader discussions on financial oversight within public schools, with calls for stricter monitoring to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Authorities are urging affected parents to come forward with any relevant information to assist in the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, the accused secretary has not publicly responded to the allegations.
The case continues to unfold as law enforcement and school officials work to uncover the full details of the alleged scheme.
