Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The children of some teachers have failed to get their Grade 7 results after school authorities allegedly withheld them to force the teachers to settle school fees arrears.<\/p>\n

Several schools in Gweru have reportedly refused to release result slips for children of teachers, saying they had not paid up school fees.<\/p>\n

In February this year, the Government pledged to pay school fees for up to three biological children per teacher\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

The promised figure amounted to $20 000 per child per term.<\/p>\n

However, the government has failed to fulfill its pledge, and now some teachers are in a quandary as they cannot apply for Form One places for their children without the Grade 7 results slips.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Paul Mavima, said the government has not changed its position on paying school fees for the children of teachers. He said:<\/p>\n

This is now an administrative matter that the Ministry of Education should pursue with the Treasury.<\/p>\n

The policy instruction was given earlier this year by His Excellency, President E D Mnangagwa and still stands.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Teachers\u2019 Association of Zimbabwe (Zimta) secretary-general Goodwill Taderera said the government should pay the money for school fees directly into teachers\u2019 bank accounts. Said Taderera:<\/p>\n

This was a proposal by the workers where we said rather than putting money into the school account, why not put money into the teacher\u2019s account?<\/p>\n

We thought it was the best way to go as the school fees payment is concerned.<\/p>\n
