Govt challenges visual art teachers

PRIMARY and Secondary Education ministry acting secretary Olica Kaira has challenged performing and visual arts teachers to seriously monitor classroom learning and performance activities to help produce practically competent students in addition to good passes.

Taking inspiration from the success of the recently held National Schools Arts Gala, Kaira — who also presided as the guest of honour — said the Annual Sport Science and Arts Festival (ASSAF) which had been shelved due to COVID-19-induced lockdowns would soon be resurrected.

The arts gala brought together representatives from seven provinces out of the 10 in Zimbabwe with schools from Harare hogging the limelight in film, music, dance and visual art.
