The Primary and Secondary Education ministry has embarked on an outreach campaign in Bulawayo pleading with residents to take their children to school.
Education ministry spokesperson Taungana Ndoro said they want to ensure that every school going age exercises their right to education through the outreach that runs until November 28.
“Through the whole-of-government approach, the ministry seeks to mobilise communities to play their active role in ensuring that every child of school-going age, including those with disabilities and the orphaned and vulnerable enjoy their right to education,” Ndoro said.
“The outreach also provides an opportunity for youth and adults to get more information on how they can access adult basic education as well as lifelong learning opportunities through their neighbouring schools.”
“This initiative is aligned to the Continental Education Strategy for Africa, the Sustainable Development Goals and the National Development Strategy.
