Taking off from the situation into his own hands. And im to see one day its good to have your company off to 6 months chef schools all slowly opening up again in zimbabwe but not without controversy leading teaching unions have called on band members to strike theyre angry that the government is refusing to raise salaries the standoff as if students worries about the impact on the exam results ill be talking to an official in the Education Ministry after this report. A fresh start after 6 months School Closure at the Queen Elizabeth school for girls in harare Morning Assembly takes place like normal these times are anything but there is disinfectant on arrival and students have their temperatures taken before they can open a book the classrooms are missing one thing the teachers theyve gone on strike over wages and hygiene concerns teachers have lost. Getting in terms of fossil search its its actually an insult to be a teacher. In what i seem to think of government is honest address the problems so that we dont have people who are coming 100 percent every day into school yet their physical absence. Develops in the schools the strike has hampered their return to school this week is phasing in slowly starting with students who are about to graduate. Or like this plus those who are busy studying for upcoming exams. Trying our best to woodcut we need to do all the things we can do these and our only left with us to write and to whom was this house yet its 0 to us although some students have had virtual classes most have had new chew to ring for months the teachers strike is a threat to their futures it is something that is feeding hard to start school after 6 months of the industry and its for me i see it as she said and it was some of the teachers were now would be in coming for lessons i dont know why just group them to do since i started to. Write some sheets to retain some region since the unions meanwhile insist that we do use of our own 40. 00 to 50. 00 per month are too low especially given the risks teachers take returning to work for 2 years. Of government is the best lets engage in virtue of that weve also heard. Some educators are back in the classroom though not all well unions and governments do battle it is the young people who are left in the middle. Weve invited zimbabwes feminine secretary of the ministry of primary and secondary education secretary tony santana joins me from harare welcome to news africa secretary of happiness for children in zimbabwe lost about half a year after learning why are you insisting on children taking crucial exams when they have not completed the syllabus. Yes currently they have not completed which is where we have to face to face listen. During the time when they were not having face to face lets listen but as during the lockdown we had other strategies alternative strategist where we are helping our linens to continue working on the work on the. Bridge. Is the cause of more jewels but we give in to this remote. Who also do a combination understood but do the provisions that you are referring to cover all children do they cover for example children with disabilities children who are hard of hearing children who cannot see do they have of the poor who often dont have access to resources that they need. It is not easy to cover everybody or little ones so what we do is we get back to 1st afford to be an assessment of where we are we as weve got back to school and as weve discovered the gaps with plans were made for you individual groups of children or even individuals who were driven to try and make sure that we could start with them so as we go back there would be a lot to offer the mediation and lot of kids have a lot of time had to start to just to compliment be face to face ok inside the groups you are talking about the most marginalized to us we will look after you have another challenge secretary and that is teachers are not in the classrooms they say they simply cant afford to show up to work how are you going to complete the syllabus without the teachers. Of the issues around to survive being resolved whilst they are resolved. And teachers are very quickly to as soon as they come back we have no issue there will get their work and their children prepared ive been speaking to a member of the unions and i know youre confident teachers will be returning but thats not the impression that i got because of where the negotiations are they express that its really difficult on the salary they are to be able to afford to carry out their work another condition theyre in their day raising is the issue of whether enough provisions have been made in terms of the pandemic secretary has your government made the necessary provisions for teachers who effectively become front line workers when they return to their jobs will they be terrorists will they be for a moment to p. P. What about the schools that dont have running water. All the p. P. Is who have been given we have played all Public Schools p p es and we are continuing to give them the. Both. Of the. Liquid so slightly disinfectants believe all the basic quoting into the words to the who guidelines in though of course the guidelines for those who have been provided for we do screen infest the before we talk of testing so thats why we have the influence of the moment and according to these procedures but we have been given in layers and with the ministry of health 1st thing is to screen and then if weve discovered the need for that treatment will be fair to me not to help to change the health plan they make is the health should not be an education but what is an education issue going back to the main issue is the fact that your teachers are getting paid an average of 38. 00 per month education is the real. Education product do you expect teachers to return to their job on a salary of averaging 38. 00 a month secretary. That is why a government is talking to them and increases the. Giving them a top up is because they realize this isnt a government that the needs to be since the election all right that zimbabwes law i mean im going to argue with that or. It isnt obvious to me and secretary for the ministry of primary and secondary education talking to us from thank you secretary. You might call him africas robin hood angelis activist.

A brand new movie about legendary german filmmaker ryan of an affair at cinemas this weekend. But 1st its 30 years since germany was reunited and we conclude our series on the 990. 00 s. A defining decade which changed. After the fall of the wall after the initial jubilation of reunification the freedom came with it for 30000000 east germans how did the aussies and vessels themselves reunite weve dug deep in the extensive d. W. Archive to find out more. German reunification altered the lives of millions of east germans for ever freedom to travel western culture western goods they suddenly had access to it all because of that great and for all the joy all the happiness of everyone there was a huge amount of energy that was released. In a public link was 9 years old when the berlin wall fell and lived in the east outside of berlin along with the joy she felt she also had a lot of questions. You know i was pretty confused when it all happened not because i didnt want it or i didnt even really understand it at 1st but because i saw confused people all around me everyone had to get used to the new situation including the children and suddenly everything familiar was gone including a political system that was restrictive but also provided for almost everything disillusionment soon set in the east German Economy collapsed unemployment rose and entire regions became desolate young people in particular grew frustrated. Because we were going to shop. As mine it is because it was really hard for my generation to find its way what direction to go out we had to learn everything about how things work in the west. There were a lot of expectations and we couldnt fulfill them right away not because we didnt want to but because we were scared. Got into a money void as a number one im started. But the end of east germany also made a lot of things possible in a powder clink dreamed of becoming a singer she found a producer then in 1995 recorded her 1st song. Only place. In 1907 she launched her Television Career as a reporter at the edge of l. A. For the show polish blind date she brought together young people with opposing viewpoints gun issues. Because my my you its funny but if anything like that its like take the federal money the feeling is because we are. In the 1st moved to berlin then to hamburg many of her east german contemporaries also left their hometowns and moved to mostly western germany not an easy step as 2 examples from our archives demonstrate. The car mechanic from saxony on hard found work near stock each friday he drove back to his old home in his brand new mercedes. In the g. D. R. Wed need to go dancing wed also had the same table and we all understood each other and its harder to make friends here and im lonely at times of the one through the marketing expert from southern germany moved to dresden for a management position and was surprised by her east german colleagues. To boncelles they werent used to things like flexibility productivity and motivation to promptness. But gradually these Close Encounters of an east west kind help to overcome prejudices and resulted in friendships. Down for romantic relationships. I cant imagine that a millionaire could be happier than we are. In a polar klink was also able to take advantage of opportunities provided by german reunification some 3 decades later she presents her album sound check in a brewery turned Cultural Center and the chic neighborhood of berlin this used to be east germany now its hard to imagine it was once all in disrepair this is the day ive been its simply part of the history that has shaped this country and we have to keep talking about it and we should keep celebrating it as part of our history because this country was divided and now that thats over im happy to meet lovely people no matter where theyre from. The. Former east former west for klink thats irrelevant her life has been improved by reunification and for her the east west divide is firmly in the past but inside. Man thats a. Sad sad. News with me now. All is happy isnt she but the majority of east germans well the german governments most recent reports on the progress of reunification indicated that 57 percent of. Germans still feel they are 2nd class citizens much of this has to do with the resentment due to a continuing wage divide despite beast in germany having made Major Economic progress on the other hand over happiness is the Pew Research Center survey shows that the proportion of eastern germans with the happiness of writing increased from 15 percent in 1991 to 59 percent in the most recent survey ok now on the cultural from some former east germans have done very well internationally yes. First and foremost ramstein of course whose members all grew up in communist east germany perhaps you know that 3 members were in a band in east berlin and in the eightys they reformed recruits in the ninetys as ramstein and went on to conquer the world with provocative songs and incendiary live. Metal circus act the success even more extraordinary because they broke into the u. S. Charts with songs in german yeah and what about in the art world im thinking of neo rye in the leipzig named after life yeah like cisco was a richard and they referred to artists from the former german town in the times of communism but shortly thereafter after 1909 the new Leipsic School took off this was people who studied in leipsic under the old east german masters and worked in styles that depended on the social realism of communism they shot to fame in particular as you said neo route paintings have sold for in excess of 1000000 dollars finally the the movies as well im thinking of bob stewart just outside as white bubbles spoke has become a popular destination for global Film Productions over the last 20 years.

Go out there i was. Brought all the time i was. I was so awful to leave though it is a fitting title for a film about the subversive often unpalatable fast and it shows the director as a nasty on set dictator shall take the day i was told i was going to put out the bio pics director perhaps. Agitating a bit not at all fueled by alcohol drugs and a robust ego fassbender himself often seemed like a monstrous stage character which is why his films as protagonist against theatre sets fast in the remain singular with no imitators or static successors. What remains is this great language faculty he had this great dramatic faculties at his film sound different from the people speak differently you have no. Other embodies fassbender almost as if he were his twin brother the twin hes a bit afraid of. What i wanted to keep him away not let him in at all but also and have people also recalls fassbender as manic creativity a cinema obsessed director made more than 40 films in just 12 years. Switched off it is often im going to mention. A couple suspenders personal dreams also collapsed he longed for love and intimacy yet found them intolerable he gathered his clan of collaborators around him like a surrogate family he needed them he loved them and yet hes humiliated them theres give a good as it.
