Public schools across the country are facing a major security threat, after it emerged that most of them are not guarded.

They also have neglected lawns, broken window glasses and collapsing fences and gates. Food stuff is rotting in some stores with no staff to manage the wastage that will cost the institutions huge sums of money.
