Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Hundreds of teachers across the country are set to appear before authorities for disciplinary hearings this week for allegedly failing to report for duty last term.<\/p>\n

This is despite the fact that the teachers have had their salaries deducted under a no-work-no-pay policy.<\/p>\n

The Director of communications in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, Taungana Ndoro confirmed the disciplinary hearings. He said:<\/p>\n

The hearings are fair and procedural because those who are appearing refused to admit that they did not report for duty.<\/p>\n

So they are being afforded an opportunity to defend themselves and explain why they did not report for duty.<\/p>\n

We continue engaging teachers on various other issues affecting the sector, but the responsible ministry will deal with the salary issue.<\/p>\n

Former Primary and Secondary Education minister David Coltart said the Government has to engage teachers and address their grievances. Said Coltart:<\/p>\n

Whatever the law says on the issues affecting teachers, it will not solve the issue at hand.<\/p>\n

The best solution is for the minister to engage the teachers\u2019 unions to strategise the way forward.<\/p>\n

Teachers are paid slave wages, and messengers and domestic workers are earning more than the teachers. We need dialogue for the best interest of the children.<\/p>\n

Going to court will not solve the crisis that the education sector is in.<\/p>\n

We should shout on rooftops that the education sector is in a catastrophic state.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Consumer Council of Zimbabwe revealed that the family basket is now pegged at $120 000 per month. Teachers earn less than half of that amount.<\/p>\n
