Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Teachers for Economic Development (TeachersforED), a grouping with ZANU PF links, has reportedly ordered school heads and inspectors to attend a two-day workshop beginning this Thursday, 06 October 2022.<\/p>\n

The group was formed recently amid a mushrooming of groupings such as Pastors4ED and Mahwindi4ED that support President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s 2023 re-election bid.<\/p>\n

Education sector union leaders told NewsDay that they were being forced to mobilise affiliates on behalf of TeachersforED and to fund the workshop scheduled for Marondera. Read in part a communiqu\u00e9 sent to school heads:<\/p>\n

Cluster chair heads and the vice-chairs, National Association for Primary School Heads and National Association of Secondary School Heads executives are invited to attend a workshop from October 6 to 8 at Marondera High.<\/p>\n

You are required to bring your own bedding, find own accommodation and provide your dinner. You are required to pay US$40 or its RTGS equivalent for lunch and teas. This is a workshop for Trs4ED training. It is in line with the above minutes. Please remain guided. Inspectors who have not undergone the Trs4ED training are to attend a workshop from October 6 to 8 at Marondera High.<\/p>\n

The communiqu\u00e9 does not specify the training on offer, but school heads claimed that teachers were being forced to join the movement.<\/p>\n

A school head who declined to be named for fear of victimisation told NewsDay that, \u201cAuthorities are pushing for mandatory affiliation to TeachersforED.\u201d<\/p>\n

The head said parents and guardians were against the use of school funds for non-school business, therefore, they can\u2019t use school funds to fund trade unionism. Added the head:<\/p>\n

There is confusion because it is like a parallel structure is running the school as we are taking orders from the leaders, who sometimes threaten us with dismissal if we refuse to be part to it.<\/p>\n

Primary and Secondary Education ministry spokesperson Taungana Ndoro, however, claimed that the ministry was overwhelmed with inquiries from teachers and school heads keen to join TeachersforED.<\/p>\n

He told NewsDay that those alleging that teachers were being forced to join the group are not happy with how fast the association is growing.<\/p>\n

However, some union leaders said underhand intimidatory tactics were being employed to force educators to quit their unions and join the new association.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe National Teachers Union chief executive officer Manuel Nyawo said this is a way of fleecing the same teachers who are struggling to survive.<\/p>\n
