Govt digs in on truant teachers

GOVERNMENT vowed yesterday that it would not back down on its no-work, no-pay principle for teachers that are absconding duty, saying it was finalising recording names of all truant educators.

This was announced by Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa during a post-Cabinet media briefing in Harare.

Teachers have not been reporting for duty since last year citing incapacitation.
