Scenario :: 27-Oct-2009


Afua’s husband is the headmaster of a senior secondary school. He has been teaching for twenty five years and only just manages to look after his family with his salary.
In recent years; Afua has noticed that her husband receives expensive gifts from parents of students in his school. She is disturbed and thinks her husband should refuse the gifts since they will ultimately compromise his judgment and professionalism. Just recently he received a note from a parent asking him to pick a car as an appreciation for his assistance in helping his child pass his final exams; his wife is against this latest development and has asked him to refuse it. Victor vehemently disagrees and says gifts are gifts and rejecting it may hurt the man’s feelings or damage his relationship with him.

On drive today we are asking though we all have our values and principles we live by; under what circumstances will you accept or refuse a gift?

Bola, thank u for the opportunity.
This is a gift alright and maybe accepted. In this case, it must be noted that the headmaster will be influenced when he accepts such expensive gifts in the future. However, if parents wish to give gifts they should rather give gifts that will assist the school as a whole to promote the development of the institution that helped their ward.

I will accept gifts when they are genuinely given to appreciate me for a work done. However, when the gift will compel me to do something against my company personal ethics, then sorry.

I will encourage the husband to take the gift in kind /accept the gift in good faith and not to think otherwise.
