Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Leopold Munhende<\/b> – AMALGAMATED Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) Obert Masaraure has warned that government\u2019s newly recruited 3 816 teachers will soon join their colleagues to fight for better working conditions and salaries.<\/p>\n

Masaraure, who welcomed the recruitment of more teachers, said it will, however, be a non-event if teachers are not remunerated well and they realise they cannot afford to pay for their own children\u2019s school fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese new teachers will only log in but won\u2019t teach because they are well aware that they have signed up for poverty and are duty-bound to join our struggle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeachers are severely incapacitated earning a gross income of $22 000 to $28 000 including Covid-19 allowances. They cannot afford to be in the classroom under these realities.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo sane teacher can teach other people\u2019s children when their own are barred from accessing the classroom because of austerity induced poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recruitment came a day after schools were opened for the final term of 2021 after a three-month hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

ARTUZ and the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) have been leading calls for industrial action due to poor working conditions and low salaries, which the government has constantly declined to increase.<\/p>\n

Added Masaraure: \u201cThe recruitment of new teachers is welcome but it is inadequate as it doesn\u2019t address the glaring staff shortage in our schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeachers are leaving the profession in droves because of underpayment, 3 816 teachers are just a drop in the ocean as Zimbabwe needs over 140 000 for effective learning to take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cScience subjects and Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes are the most under-staffed. We urge the government to continue recruiting teachers not only to enable adherence but also to enhance access to quality education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Government-approved opening of schools for examination classes last week, with the rest set to commence on 6 September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
