Matabeleland schools get Starlink kits

Lack of internet access has been blamed for the poor rate, with some rural schools in the region recording zero pass rates in their final year examinations.

In 2012, the late president Robert Mugabe launched a national e-learning programme aimed at improving the education sector through internet learning at primary and secondary school level.
