MPs push for mandatory constitutional lessons

MEMBERS of Parliament (MPs) have called on the government to make constitutional studies a compulsory subject in schools, arguing that the current approach is inadequate to promote public awareness of Zimbabwe’s supreme law.

They said a deeper understanding of the Constitution was vital in fostering a generation aware of its rights, responsibilities and State functions.

Currently, the Constitution is taught as an elective within Heritage Studies and partly through the History curriculum.
