Cyclone Idai: Govt Closes 43 Schools In Chimanimani

Government has closed 43 schools in Chimanimani that were affected by Cyclone Idai.

The closure is meant to pave way for assessments on the extent of damage to infrastructure as well as the number of teachers and learners who are unaccounted for. Manicaland provincial education director Mr Edward Shumba said 33 primary schools and 10 secondary schools had been closed. He said the schools would, however, be allowed to open two weeks earlier for the second term to ensure that learners catch up on the time lost this term.
