Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Great Zimbabwe University (GZU)<\/b> has lost 50 members of staff through a brain drain since January this year.<\/p>\n

GZU vice-chancellor Rungano Zvobgo<\/b> said the mass staff exodus was affecting the successful implementation of the Education 5.0 policy, NewsDay reported. Zvobgo said at the institution\u2019s graduation ceremony recently:<\/p>\n

This year alone, we lost 50 members of staff through resignations, five of them were PhD holders. This has negatively impacted our critical mass of specialised human resources.<\/p>\n

The trend is said to be common amongst state institutions as educators, and non-academic staff, are leaving the country in search of greener pastures.<\/p>\n

The president of the Association of University Teachers of UZ, Zvakanyorwa Wilbert Sadomba and secretary-general Rekopantswe Mate wrote to UZ vice-chancellor Paul Mapfumo in July complaining over poor salaries and working conditions. The union leaders said in a memo:<\/p>\n

Your non-consultative and non-participatory approach to administration has caused an unprecedented decline in morale leading to an exodus of experts in vital fields such as medicine.<\/p>\n

College Lecturers Association of Zimbabwe president David Dzatsunga said lecturers at State institutions have turned destitute. Dzatsunga said:<\/p>\n

Quite a number of lecturers are leaving for the diaspora especially because of the low salaries and poor conditions of service incomparable with counterparts in the region and internationally.<\/p>\n

Workers in state-owned higher learning institutions are among several groups of workers who have periodically embarked on industrial action in recent years.<\/p>\n
