Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has ordered Grade 7 pupils to continue attending school after their final public examinations ended on Monday this week.<\/p>\n

The Ministry has said during this period, Grade 7 pupils must go through what it calls a \u201cLife Orientation Programme\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to a memo from Jameson Machimbira, the provincial education director for Harare, schools inspectors have been instructed to remind heads to keep pupils at school, to \u201csubmit timetables for the Life Orientation Programme\u201d and also provide \u201ctime attendance statistics daily\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) secretary-general Raymond Majongwe said teachers were never consulted. Majongwe said:<\/p>\n

The poor teachers have no idea what they will be teaching.<\/p>\n

… What happened to stakeholder engagement? Schools are not paddocks. This is crazy! Why invent new rules mid-flight?<\/p>\n

Let the kids and the teachers rest. Preparations for examinations are a tough game.<\/p>\n

Majongwe also questioned if Ordinary Level and Advanced Level candidates will also be forced to stay at school after finishing their ZIMSEC examinations.<\/p>\n
