A 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 some way but not without controversy eating teaching unions have called on their members to strike theyre angry that the government is refusing to raise salaries the standoff has left 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 it was. Getting in terms of fossil search its its actually an insult to be a teacher its a guest with us in pursuing a government is one has to address the problems so that we dont have people who are coming under percent every day into school get their physical absent develops into the schools the strike has hampered their return to school this week some obvious phasing in slowly starting with students who are about to graduate or like this class those who are busy studying for upcoming exams. Trying our best who would hide we need and doing all the things we can do these power on left to my straight and full was the house yet its too much although some students have had virtual classes most have had nor to touring for months the teachers strike is a threat to their futures it is something that is ready. To start school after 6 months of open to school and this for me i see it as a disadvantage because some of the teachers will now be games coming for lessons i dont know why just through come to decisions you make sure that you are right some you should sue detains with regions the unions meanwhile insist that wages of around 40. 00 to 50. 00 per month are too low especially given the risks teachers taken returning to work for 2 years dollars is an insult. In the u. S. Government is the. Sure that we were. Some educators are back in the classroom well not all well unions in government bought some young people who are left in the middle. Weve invited zimbabwes famine and secretary of the ministry of primary and secondary education secretary to me sometime in a joins me from harare welcome to news africa secretariats have been at School Children in zimbabwe lost about half a year of 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 why we are going back to face to face lessons. During the time when they were not having face to face lets listen to what is during the lockdown we have other strategies alternative strategies where we are helping our lives to continue working on their work on the. Field the college more jewels that we have given to this remote. Who also do it. And the state 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 a poor who often dont have access to resources that they need for online learning. It is not easy to cover everybody only once so what to do is we get back to 1st afford to be an assessment of where are we to school and as weve discovered the gaps with plans were made for him to visual groups of children or even the individual to try and make sure that we can weave them so as we go back there would be a lot to offer the mediation and look of can chop a little for the need to strive to do is to compliment be face to face ok sides the groups you are talking about the most marginalized the years 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. I was biased of the issues around to survive being resolved once they are dissolved retells come back and good teachers are very quickly to as soon as they come back we have no issue they will get their work and their children prepared ive been speaking to a member of the union and i know youre confident teachers will be returning but thats not the impression that i caught because of where the negotiations are they express that its really difficult on the salary they earn to be able to afford to carry out their work another condition they are 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 says p p what about the schools that dont have Running Water at. 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. Liquids so. Disinfectant released all the basic according to the words to the who. Was the guidelines for those who have been provided for we do screening fest the before we talk of testing so thats why we have the infrared thermometer 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 that we have need for that treatment will be fair to me the help the health plan they make is the health should not be an education district 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. Education product do you expect teachers to return to their job on a salary of averaging 38. 00 a month secretary that is the way government is talking to them and includes the the. Giving them a top up is because they realize theyre simply a government that the needs to be assisted in but they are all right that zimbabwes economy and i mean what are you with that at all and that isnt obvious to me and secretary for the ministry of primary and secondary education talking to us from thank you secretary.

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 you know 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.
