MPs lament paltry ECD budget

MEMBERS of Parliament said paltry funding for Early Childhood Development in Zimbabwe was cause for concern and will push to ensure the sector is capacitated.

Speaking during a meeting organised by the Zimbabwe Network for Early Childhood Development Actors (ZNECDA) and the Education Coalition of Zimbabwe (ECOZI) on budgeting processes, Bikita MP Johnson Madhuku said issues affecting ECDs need adequate budgeting and promised to use the budget formulation processes to push for that.

MPs from the primary and secondary schools committee were part of the indaba that also saw representatives from the government, teacher organisations among other sectors participating.
