Primary and Secondary Education Minister Torerai Moyo has suggested that schools should collectively petition Parliament to make the non-payment of fees and levies by parents and guardians a criminal offence.
Minister Moyo made these remarks while addressing the 2024 National Association of Secondary Heads (NASH) annual conference in Victoria Falls on Thursday.
The minister’s proposal stems from concerns that some parents are deliberately exploiting the government’s education policy, which is intended to protect the rights of children, by deliberately refusing to pay school fees and levies.
Parents are aware that schools are not permitted to send learners home or withhold their public examination results for non-payment of fees.
As a result, many are no longer motivated to fulfill their financial obligations to the schools.
In some cases, children have accumulated unpaid fees and levies over several terms or years, and their parents invoke the government’s policy when school authorities raise the issue of outstanding payments.
Minister Moyo said that the failure to pay fees has a detrimental impact on the overall operations of schools.
Responding to issues raised by school heads through their president, Arthur Maphosa, especially over non-payment of school fees, which is crippling schools’ operations, Moyo said:
<blockquote>
Fees and levies should be paid in full before schools open. Parents should show their responsibility and pay fees.
As headmasters you have no right to turn away pupils for not paying and doing so will be violating their rights.
</blockquote>
Minister Moyo expressed concern that some parents were exploiting the government’s education policy by deliberately refusing to pay school fees.
He urged those facing genuine financial difficulties to engage directly with school authorities to negotiate reasonable payment plans instead of using the policy as a pretext to avoid their financial obligations. He added:
<blockquote>
Don’t withhold results. Why don’t you find a way of recovering your money? I told representatives of NAPH and NASH to consider petitioning Parliament to criminalise non-payment of school fees and levies.
</blockquote>
The National Association of Primary Heads (NAPH) and the National Association of Secondary Heads (NASH) are the respective unions representing primary and secondary school heads in Zimbabwe.

Education Minister Says Schools Can Have Non-payment Of Fees Criminalised

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerai Moyo, said the Government will consider a request by teachers to be paid salaries commensurate with their qualifications and experience and the revival of manpower development leave programmes.
The <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/teachers-demand-salary-hikes-based-on-qualifications-minister-agrees/">Chronicle</a> reported that Moyo met district school inspectors, school heads and other ministry officials from Matabeleland North Province on Thursday.
At the meeting, held at Tsholotsho High School, discussions centred on various issues affecting teachers.
In his presentation, Sicelo Dube, the headmaster of Tsholotsho High School and chairperson of the National Association of Secondary School Heads (NASH), said teachers’ salaries should reflect the profession’s duties, responsibilities as well as the individual’s qualifications and experience.
Dube said it was not fair for a teacher with a Bachelor’s degree and one with a diploma to be paid the same salary.
He also urged the government to review the manpower development leave programme which allowed teachers to pursue professional development opportunities while on full pay.
The NASH chairman stated that this will enable teachers to improve their academic qualifications while being paid enough to fend for their families.
Dube also requested that secondary schools be allowed to engage substantive deputy heads at the same enrolment level as primary schools.
For primary schools, a designated deputy head position is created when enrolment reaches 200 learners.
Dube said this will alleviate the burden on school heads, who are stretched by administrative duties.
He also pleaded for school heads to be exempted from teaching to concentrate on administration work, saying students lose valuable learning time when teaching heads attend to administration work.
Minister Moyo said he agreed with the idea of paying salaries commensurate with teachers’ qualifications and experience.
He said that he will soon engage the Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare to consider the issue. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
I totally agree that teachers should be paid salaries commensurate with their academic qualifications and experience.
These are labour issues and honestly, someone with a diploma cannot be paid the same salary as a PHD holder, it’s absurd.
Even the number of years one has worked must be considered because that experience is invaluable. I will soon engage with my counterpart Minister Moyo (July) on this.
</blockquote>
He said the revival of the programme was a noble idea that would encourage teachers to improve their qualifications.
During his two-day tour, Minister Moyo visited Tshabanda Adventist High School, Mtshina Primary and Secondary School and Tsholotsho High School.

Teachers Demand Salaries Based On Qualifications

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerayi Moyo, has said the government has employed 2 000 new teachers this term and plans to recruit 5 000 more.
Speaking during a meeting with teachers’ unions and other stakeholders in Harare on Monday, 26 February, Moyo also said there are plans to build 2 800 new schools. Said Moyo (<a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/psc-targets-recruiting-5-000-teachers-this-year/">via The Herald</a>):
<blockquote>
We decentralised the recruitment of teachers starting from January 2024, so far we have recruited 2 000 teachers, and we are left with 5 000 more teachers.
We are sure that in the second term, we will recruit more. We are also going to address the shortage of schools by building a further 2 800 schools.
</blockquote>
Moyo told trade unionists that when recruiting teachers, the Public Service Commission (PSC) will give preference to those who completed their college studies long back.
He also pledged to ensure that BEAM disbursements are done timeously so that schools operate efficiently and procure materials on time.
Moyo said allowances that were given to teachers should be brought back and that teachers in rural areas deserve hardship allowances.

Govt Plans To Recruit 5 000 More Teachers In 2024 - Education Minister

Most parents who send their children to public schools are no longer paying school fees after the Government warned school heads against sending away learners for non-payment of fees.
This was said by the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerai Moyo while officiating at a clean-up and public consultation meeting in Kwekwe recently. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
Most parents are no longer paying fees for their children because of the Government directive. No one should take advantage but you should play your role as a parent and ensure that your child has everything needed for learning.
For those who can, please pay your fees but for those who cannot, the Government has provided safety nets like the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM).
What we want at the end of the day is for the child to have a proper learning setup without any disturbances hence we should all play our part.
</blockquote>
He bemoaned what he described as massive corruption in the selection of BEAM beneficiaries by school administrators.
Moyo also said the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion has disbursed BEAM funds for onward transmission to schools, with some arrears dating back to 2022.
The Minister urged schools to come up with fundraising projects to avoid overburdening parents.

Govt Directive To School Heads Over Payment Of Fees Backfires

The Government plans to set up information technology servers in rural schools to enable them to access textbooks virtually amid concerns that the shortage of reading material, is a contributory factor to a low pass rate.
The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) last week released Ordinary Level results showing that only 29 per cent of candidates who sat for the November 2023 examinations acquired five Ordinary Level passes with a Grade C or better.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/new-textbook-strategy-for-rural-schools/">The Herald</a>, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Torerai Moyo said the Government is concerned with the low pass rate, especially in rural schools. He said:
<blockquote>
Learners have no access to the internet and that has contributed to the low pass rate. We are, however, aiming to improve that.
We have contacted some development partners who are coming on board to ensure that we are going to provide online learning in the rural areas including those remote areas without internet connectivity.
We will provide a server so that every child within a radius of 200 metres has access to notes and e-books from the server.
</blockquote>
Moyo said the 29 per cent recorded last year is not good enough, adding the Ministry expect 50 per cent of the candidates to pass.
He also said the Government in partnership with Global Partnership for Education (GPE) is set to avail US$1.2 million to support the registration of 250 schools that are almost complete in construction. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
We are going to disburse US$5 000 this term to those schools that are at least 80 percent complete.
If a satellite school is close to registration, we are going to give it financial support from GPE.
We are targeting 250 schools by the end of the first term to have received, and if we manage to register 250 schools we are going to unlock more funds.
It means the following year we will have 500 schools that are going to benefit.
</blockquote>
Moyo called upon individuals to construct schools and privatise them, saying the country has a deficit of 2 800 learning institutions.
He warned teachers against teaching extra school lessons for money, saying those caught doing so will face disciplinary action.

Govt Plans To Roll Out E-books For Rural Schools

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Torerayi Moyo has backtracked on his remarks that school heads and teachers’ qualifications will be reviewed so that a PhD will be the minimum qualification for school heads and diploma holders will be deemed unqualified to teach in public schools.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/phds-not-required-for-school-heads/">The Herald</a> on Wednesday, 31 January, Moyo said his message was misinterpreted, adding that there were no new requirements on qualifications for school heads. He said:
<blockquote>
I never said that for you to be a headmaster, you need to have a PhD. People misinterpreted the message that I gave to the headmasters.
We were in Bulawayo last week, and my message to teachers and headmasters was that they needed to upgrade their qualifications.
I told them that there was a time when holders of ZJC and O’ Levels were teaching without teaching qualifications, and I motivated teachers and headmasters that they needed to upgrade their qualifications.
If they have diplomas, they can have a first degree; if they have a Master’s, they can have a PhD. That was the message.
</blockquote>
Addressing heads of primary and secondary schools, district school inspectors and education officials at St Columbas High School in Bulawayo on Thursday last, Moyo said (<a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/qualifications-review-for-teachers-school-heads-2/">via The Sunday News</a>):
<blockquote>
I want to encourage you to continuously upgrade yourselves, I started with a Diploma in Education but I had to continue aiming for the self-actualisation stage. I see youthful faces among you who were lucky to be promoted and are headmasters.
There will come a time when we will come up with a circular to say for you to become a headmaster of a high school you must have a PhD, and for you to become a teacher, teaching in our primary schools you must have a degree.
</blockquote>
He also reminded school heads that there was a time when teachers of Grade One were holders of the Zimbabwe Junior Certificate and were later removed.
Ordinary Level certificate holders were allowed to teach early grades but they were later removed as well.
The Minister’s remarks stirred controversy on social media platforms, with some teachers worried they may soon find themselves unqualified to teach in public schools.

PhDs Not Required For Headmasters | Minister Backtracks On School Heads Qualification Remarks

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerai Moyo, has commended schools for complying with the regulations set by the government in response to the cholera outbreak.
<a href="https://cite.org.zw/govt-praises-schools-for-cholera-response/">CITE</a> reported Moyo as saying all the schools that he has toured since the commencement of the 2024 First Term complied with the regulations. Moyo said:
<blockquote>
When schools opened, we were already faced with the pandemic. We requested, through a circular, that all schools ensure they have water at all times at washing facilities, at the gate and outside classroom blocks.
We are glad that at all the schools we have toured thus far in various provinces, there is complete compliance.
I would also like to commend Bulawayo Province for being the best province in terms of output.
Your results have been the best: 80 per cent pass rate in 2021, 86 per cent in 2022, and a remarkable 92 per cent pass rate last year.
This is a great improvement and these are fantastic results.
</blockquote>
School authorities present pleaded with the Government to provide more funds for the construction of classroom blocks.
A representative from the National Association for Secondary Schools (NASH) said that the acute shortage of classrooms was forcing some schools to resort to double sessions.
Moyo acknowledged the challenges faced by schools and assured them that the government intends to allocate at least US$5 000 to 250 schools each towards the development of learning infrastructure.

Education Minister Praises Schools For Cholera Response

The Continuous Assessment Learning Activities (CALA) model is set to undergo significant changes to remove the burden on learners, teachers and parents.
This was revealed by the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Torerai Moyo while addressing education stakeholders in Chinhoyi, on Thursday.
Moyo said CALA was done “haphazardly” adding that changes are set to be implemented as early as February 2024 following the CALA curriculum review exercise that was completed recently. He said (<a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/watch-cala-was-done-haphazardly-says-education-minister-concept-to-undergo-changes/">via NewZimbabwe.com</a>):
<blockquote>
As a ministry, we got complaints from parents who were saying they were doing assignments for their children.
Theoretically, CALA is good, there is nothing wrong with it but l think it was done haphazardly.
You find a student in Grade Seven doing 27 CALAs, how then (at this rate) do we insist on quality education?
So we are going to see some changes before the end of February in terms of CALA.
Either we reduce the number of CALAs from 27 to two, and at secondary we could say just one CALA…
</blockquote>
Some parents and guardians have demanded that CALA should be scrapped in its entirety saying it is financially burdensome.
Teachers argue that CALA has increased learning disparities between urban and rural learners as most rural schools lack the infrastructure and resources necessary to administer it.

CALA Was Done Haphazardly, Set To Undergo Wholesale Changes - Minister Moyo

Twenty-three (23) schools countrywide are accused of turning away learners over unpaid tuition, demanding fees in United States dollars and conducting extra lessons, among other charges.
The 23 schools are Parirewa Primary and Secondary Schools, Kudzanai Primary, Kuredza Primary, Kuwadzana 6 Primary, Allan Wilson High School, Chinhoyi 2 High, Mhanyame Primary, Chirorodziva, Tafara Primary, Helwyn Primary, Biri Primary, Kasimure Primary, Maumbe Primary, Magunje High, Norton Intellect Primary, Strathdon Secondary, Negomo Secondary, Mhuriimwe Secondary, Tendai Primary, Glenview 2 High, Chiri Government and Hatcliffe High schools.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200021881/23-schools-in-hot-soup">NewsDay</a> reported that the charges included demanding cash for extra lessons, conducting illegal extra lessons, turning away pupils over non-payment of levies, demanding exclusively US dollar fee payment and hiking fees without approval from the Government.
Primary and Secondary Education Minister Torerai Moyo visited several schools in Harare on a fact-finding mission on Tuesday.
He visited Oriel Boys High School, Eastridge Primary School and Makomo Primary School in Harare.
Speaking during the tour, Moyo reiterated a government directive that no learner should be turned away over non-payment of school fees.
He also warned schools against withholding examination results for learners’ failure to pay school fees. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
The contract for examinations is between the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (ZIMSEC) and learners (candidates), on school fees, the contract is between parents or guardians and the school.
No results should be withheld and no learner should be turned away from school regarding fee payment.
Schools must find other ways to get the tuition fee from parents and guardians. This is not to say parents must not pay school fees.
</blockquote>
Moyo said schools selling uniforms at their premises should not force parents to buy the uniforms if they feel they are expensive. He said:
<blockquote>
I have received reports of some schools forcing parents to buy uniforms from them.
Parents and guardians are free to purchase uniforms where they find them cheaper.
If your school is innovative (by producing) uniforms, the price should be reasonable and not by force.
</blockquote>
In a statement issued yesterday, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education said some schools were defying the Government directive to charge only approved school fees and levies.
The Ministry also said some learning institutions were charging school fees and levies exclusively in foreign currency, forcing parents to purchase school uniforms and stationery exclusively at their schools and withholding results for Grade 7, ‘O’ and ‘A’ level candidates.
It reminded schools that they are bound by the procedures to be followed when making school fee adjustments according to Secretary’s Circular No. 1 of 2023.

23 Schools In Trouble For Conducting Illegal Extra Lessons

Primary and Secondary Education Minister Torerayi Moyo has said the number of schools sending away learners for non-payment of school fees has been in decline.
Speaking in an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/psc-to-recruit-5-000-teachers/">State media</a>, Moyo warned school heads against sending away learners for non-payment of fees, saying those who disregard the directive will be charged. He said:
<blockquote>
We have seen several schools sending away learners for non-payment of school fees. The numbers have declined and it’s a milestone on our part. We have some penalties for rogue schools.
We use Statutory Instrument 1 of 2 000 which a teacher or head can be charged for excluding learners from school on the grounds of non-payment of fees.
We encourage payment plans to be done rather than excluding the learner. It’s not the fault of the learner for failing to pay fees.
It’s the fault of the parent, hence the parent and school authority should sit down and have a working plan.
</blockquote>
Moyo said that rather than sending away learners, schools should use the law and bring in debt collectors on parents refusing to pay school fees. He said:
<blockquote>
Schools can use debt collectors; they are allowed by the law to do that to recover their money. They can use the law to sue the parents. That is allowed.
If parents refuse to pay fees don’t chase away students, but invoke the law, contract debt collectors to cover the debts accrued for non-payment of fees and levies. That is within the confines of the law.
And also some schools can charge interest for delayed payment. They can charge 5 per cent of delayed fee payments instead of sending away the child. They can put interest for delayed payment.
</blockquote>
Some Zimbabwean parents are notorious for not paying their children’s school fees and this forces school authorities to take drastic measures to ensure that parents fulfill their obligations.
The ZANU PF-led Government has in the past made repeated promises to roll out free education at primary and secondary levels but the pledges are forgotten soon after general elections.

Schools Allowed To Unleash Debt Collectors On Parents - Minister

The Government has said it will take time to roll out free education as resources need to be mobilised for its implementation.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200021384/free-education-needs-resources-minister">NewsDay</a> reported the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerai Moyo as saying free education will be rolled out in the next few years. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
The government indeed has the intention that from Early Childhood Development (ECD) up to Grade 7, children should have free education.
That is the aim of the President. So, this is not new. It is an issue that we are seriously considering and it will not take us three years to implement.
We need to mobilise the resources so that people benefit. Free education comes in various forms.
There is the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) for those children who come from less privileged parents and they can go from ECD A up to grade 7 for free.
</blockquote>
BEAM is a government programme aimed at providing financial assistance to disadvantaged primary and secondary school learners.
It was established to support children from vulnerable backgrounds, including orphans, children from low-income families, and children with disabilities, to access quality education.
BEAM has, however, been affected by underfunding from the Treasury. In November 2023, Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister July Moyo said that the Government has a ZWL$278 billion outstanding bill for BEAM.
Meanwhile, Torerai Moyo revealed that BEAM does not cater for levies for projects that schools require from parents from time to time. He said:
<blockquote>
In underdeveloped areas like my communal home, Muzarabani, Guruve and Kariba, children in those areas do not pay school fees.
They are going to school for free. There is a grant that is being used to cater for their fees.
Those who pay do so because they will have reached an agreement that the school wants to build accommodation for the schoolteachers and levies are going to be paid.
The ministry is approached with proposals and approval is granted.
</blockquote>
In 2020, President Emmerson Mnangagwa signed into law the Education Amendment Act which compels the State to provide free basic education as stipulated by Section 27 of the Constitution.
In the run-up to the 2018 and 2023 general elections, the Government promised free basic education but has failed to honour the promises.

Free Education Comes In Various Forms - Minister

The Government says it will weed out all undeserving beneficiaries of school fees disbursed under the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) after it emerged that some schools have all their learners receiving the grants.
BEAM was established in 2001 by the Government as part of the Enhanced Social Protection Programme (ESPP) the objective was to provide basic education to everyone in Zimbabwe including students who could not afford school fees such as Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).
However, there has been widespread abuse of the BEAM funds as some parents and guardians who are able to pay tuition for their children are benefitting from the grant.
Speaking at the National Association of Primary Heads national conference in Mutare recently, Primary and Secondary Education Minister <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Torerayi_Moyo">Torerayi Moyo</a> said:
<blockquote>
This thing called BEAM is a very good thing. It helps make every citizen access basic education.
In my constituency, there is a school where all 400 learners are under BEAM.
Given the late disbursements of BEAM funds, how do we surely expect the school to operate?
Here we are saying we must not give BEAM and grant-in-aid-of-tuition facilities to every student in Zimbabwe.
Let the few deserving students be offered those facilities. The majority of learners whose parents can afford should pay. That is our declaration…
The sad thing is that we have parents and guardians who do not want to pay school fees for their children.
We really have to go out and embark on a drive to urge all parents and guardians to meet the financial demands of their dependents.
We want to come up with a declaration that we will popularise as we seek to make every parent and guardian responsible by paying for their child’s school fees.
</blockquote>
Early this month, Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister July Moyo said that the Government has a staggering ZWL$278 billion outstanding bill for BEAM.

Parents Abusing BEAM Facility, Says Education Minister

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Mr. Torerai Moyo, announced that despite the two-day delay in opening schools due to the recent elections, the closing dates for the third term will remain unchanged.
He said the government plans to implement measures to compensate for the lost learning time. Many schools delayed their opening to accommodate President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s inauguration on 4 September 2023 following his re-election in the 23-24 August harmonised elections.
Moyo said the government is also taking action against schools that are refusing learners due to unpaid fees or unauthorised fee increases. He mentioned that they are considering extending learning hours to help students catch up before their final exams. Moyo said:
<blockquote>
The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education wishes to inform the public and its valued stakeholders that December 1, 2023 has been maintained as the closing date of the school calendar.
Arrangements have been made for schools to utilise the most appropriate and effective catch-up strategies to compensate for the two-day postponement of the opening of schools for day scholars from September 4 to September 6. We have put in place measures to make sure that children are not disadvantaged by this postponement.
We called upon school authorities to utilise all the time available at their disposal to ensure that learners are not disadvantaged.
Heads of schools and school authorities should desist from sending away pupils for non-payment of fees and levies, nor should they demand school fees and levies exclusively in foreign currency.
We wish to inform school authorities that it is an offence to turn away pupils for non-payment of tuition fees and levies.
We have put in place a cocktail of measures to deal with defiant schools, with the measures set to start applying next week (this week).
</blockquote>
Moyo said the ministry is awaiting Cabinet approval to take action against schools that are expelling students due to non-payment of tuition fees and levies.
Last week, education authorities initiated an investigation into schools that were demanding fees and levies in foreign currency only. The ministry’s Acting Permanent Secretary, Ms. Kwadzanayi Nyanungo, emphasized the strict enforcement of circular number 1 of 2023, which outlines guidelines for determining and processing fee and levy increases. The Minister also mentioned that preparations for the 2023 Grade Seven public examinations are well underway, with the exams scheduled to begin next Monday.
