Teachers challenge govt on invigilation duties

LABOUR Court judge Justice Lilian Kudya has reserved judgment in a case where Educators Union of Zimbabwe (EUZ) secretary-general Tapedza Zhou is appealing against a ruling that found him guilty of not invigilating a public examination.

Zhou was convicted on November 29 last year of refusing to invigilate the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (Zimsec) papers between December 2, 2021, and January 20, 2022, after attending a Primary and Secondary Education ministry hearing.

On November 29, 2021, Zhou obstructed 16 teachers at Highfield High 1 School from discharging their duties when he mobilised them not to invigilate Zimsec examinations.
