Minister witnesses rural schools decay

PRIMARY and Secondary Education minister Evelyn Ndlovu on Thursday came face-to-face with the poor state of rural schools, where she expressed shock that one school in Masvingo did not have standard learning infrastructure.

Ndlovu made the remarks during a familiarisation tour of Chikwanda Primary School in the province.

“I am really surprised that a school established in 2004 still has no standard school infrastructure (such as classrooms, teachers’ accommodation) completed and in use to date,” Ndlovu said.
