Mavima follows up on underequipped schools

PRIMARY and Secondary Education minister Paul Mavima has bemoaned the late delivery of new curriculum reading and teaching materials to schools, saying the development had had a negative impact on pupils, particularly in outlying areas.

Mavima told Southern Eye on the side-lines of the Bulawayo Book Fair on Friday that he was physically making follow-ups in various parts of the country to check on availability of teaching material.

“We were late in the delivery of teaching and learning materials and a month or two ago we launched the distribution and what I have been doing is following up to make sure that they have reached the students in various areas.
