Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Some teachers who are reporting for duty in Manicaland\u2019s public schools are reportedly charging US$1 per day for afternoon extra lessons that are being conducted in the classrooms.<\/p>\n

Primary school teachers allegedly ask pupils to bring a dollar every day for afternoon in-class extra lessons when serious learning takes place.<\/p>\n

In secondary schools, the teachers are reportedly providing extra lessons at home at an average weekly fee of US$2.50 per student in each subject.<\/p>\n

The majority of teachers boycotted classes when schools opened for the 2022 second term on 7 February, demanding the restoration of their pre-October 2018 lessons when they were paid US$540 per month.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Manica Post, Acting Manicaland Provincial Education Director, Richard Gabaza said teachers\u2019 attendance has improved across the province.<\/p>\n

On the issue of extra lessons being conducted at schools, Gabaza said he was yet to receive formal reports. He said:<\/p>\n

Generally, teacher attendance has greatly improved since the start of the week. We will continue monitoring the situation on the ground as we do not want the students to be disadvantaged.<\/p>\n

We have not yet received reports of extra lessons being conducted by the teachers.<\/p>\n

It is a cause for concern if indeed it is happening. We will get on the ground and investigate that.<\/p>\n

It is unacceptable and once the culprits are caught, they will certainly face the music.<\/p>\n

We strongly discourage overburdening our parents and guardians by making them pay extra money on top of what is charged by the school.<\/p>\n
