Schoolboys violence.

It is clear that the owners of these two institutions are unable to properly run their operations as expected. Their so-called esteemed history now includes decades of senseless and uncontrolled violence.

Tonga College and Tupou College are no longer fit for the purpose. For decades their owners' incompetence have held to ransom the education of their own students and those of other secondary schools as well. The large number of our youth who rely on these two colleges to give them an education makes their incompetence the more lamentable.  

To end this once and for all, these two social menaces should be deregistered and bring their owners and those who pride themselves in their tainted tradition to their senses. The government should set up an independent Commission of Enquiry to look at the future of secondary education for our youth as a whole and to shine a light on the real cost to society of a rivalry which has been allowed to breed and fester.

Time to show some Tongan courage and wisdom.
