TEACHERS’ unions yesterday said this year’s ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level students were not ready to sit for the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) June examinations following the disruption of the educational calendar by the COVID-19 pandemic since last year. Several teachers’ unions told NewsDay that learners were not prepared as online learning was not effective, especially in the rural areas. They also said they were not ready for the reopening of schools due to government’s failure to pay them a living wages. Their assertions came soon after government last week announced that Zimsec June examinations would go ahead as planned.
