ZOU graduates petition Mugabe over rejected diploma

FORMER Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU) students have petitioned President Robert Mugabe to order the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to employ graduates with a Diploma in Primary Education offered by the institution.

This follows reports that the CSC has been turning down holders of the diploma programme, saying it was not a legitimate qualification.

The former students want Mugabe as Chancellor of all State universities to stamp his authority and order the CSC as the major employer to recognise the qualification as genuine.
