HARARE, Zimbabwe.(News of the South)- Zimbabwean education sector,once ranked top in Africa is now rotten as the national schools examinations administration body Zimsec is breaching standards by making villagers run examinations.
News of the South presents a statement below from the second biggest teacher union condemning the shambolic administration being done by Zimsec.
Zimsec Enforcing Signing of Official Secrecy Act to cover up for Maladministration of Exams
1 July 2020
To cover up for the shambolic management of June Exams and Ministry of Prary and Secondary Education and Zimbabwe Schools Examinations Council unpreparedness, Zimsec has with effect from today instituted the signing of Official Secrecy Act. It’s sad that Zimsec which in essence has no contract with teachers as a parastatal is trying to enforce a conspiracy of misinfornation with impunity.
We remind teachers who have thrown their health, safety and welfare to the wind by salivating at the poisoned invigilation carrot, to demand an invigilation contract.
That contract must not only ensure that Zimsec pays them for invigilation of June exams but also make Zimsec liable for prosecution and payment of compensation for any effects during and after the invigilation of exams.
We also urge teachers to consider their health, safety and welfare first rather than allow Zimsec and MoPSE to trample over these key issues of life and death.
Dr Takavafira M. Zhou (Ptuz President)
