TeachersforED swoops on school heads

THERE is discontent within the education sector after school heads and inspectors were ordered to attend a two-day workshop beginning today by TeachersforED, an obscure grouping with suspected Zanu PF links.

The TeachersforED (Economic Development) was formed recently amid a proliferation of groupings such as Pastors4ED and Mahwindi4ED that support President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s 2023 re-election bid.

Education sector union leaders told NewsDay that they were being coerced to not only mobilise affiliates on behalf of TeachersforED, but to also fund the workshop scheduled for Marondera.
