Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Teachers yesterday described the $16 500 that the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (ZIMSEC) has offered them for marking examinations, as paltry and an insult to the profession.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) alleged that teachers who are marking examinations will be paid an equivalent of US$10.25 per day ($16 500) for 14 marking days. PTUZ said:<\/p>\n

Zimsec has sent out its contract for 2022 markers. No dinner, just tea and lunch. They will also pay US$10.25 per day in RTGS which we presume will cover dinner. This is impudence, hubris and nonsense all rolled into one.<\/p>\n

Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure said the council must pay allowances for teachers who invigilate and mark examinations. He added:<\/p>\n

They must formulate a contract with clear roles and responsibilities and payment modalities.<\/p>\n

But Zimsec spokesperson Nicholette Dlamini said the teachers had not yet informed the examination body about the complaints raised by their unions. Dlamini said:<\/p>\n

We cannot comment over social media issues. We will wait for their formal letters to reach us first and then we will properly respond.<\/p>\n

Teachers\u2019 unions have also highlighted that they will not turn up for work when schools open for the first term on Monday as they were incapacitated.<\/p>\n

Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare minister Paul Mavima recently said the government would not hesitate to implement a \u201cno-work-no-pay\u201d policy on truant teachers.<\/p>\n
