School Heads, Teachers Warned Over Holiday Lessons

School authorities allowing extra lessons to be conducted at their institutions during this April holiday risk disciplinary action being taken against them.

This was said by Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) communications and advocacy director, Taungana Ndoro, on Friday, April 12.

Posting on X, Ndoro said the ban on vacation school during this holiday is still in place, adding that school authorities should allow learners to rest. Said Ndoro:

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education emphasizes compliance with the directive regarding Vacation School during the April holiday.

Schools that violate this directive may face appropriate disciplinary measures. It is crucial to prioritize the well-being and independent learning of pupils during this break.

The Secretary for Primary and Secondary Education, Chris Mhike, issued the directive banning vacation school classes towards the end of the 2024 First Term. He said:

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education acknowledges the conduct of teaching and learning in all schools which went seamlessly during the first term of the year, fully embracing the 56 days set aside for that process.

The dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to educating and nurturing the young minds of our pupils have not gone unnoticed.

The creativity and passion brought about by all our teachers in the classrooms that made learning engaging, interactive and inspiring for our pupils is commended and the Ministry remains grateful.

The Ministry notes with appreciation the requests that have been received from some of its sectors to allow for the uptake of the Vacation School for examination classes of Grade 7, Ordinary and Advanced level during this April holiday.

Having consulted widely on the matter and taking cognisant of the fact that the school term had no disturbances at all to the teaching and learning programme, therefore, authority is NOT GRANTED that schools facilitate a Vacation School during the April school holidays for the Grade 7, Ordinary and Advanced level candidates, as well as for the non-examinations classes.

Pupils need this holiday break to rest and engage in independent learning where need be, including utilisation of the Zimbabwe Learning Passport amongst other alternative learning strategies.

We all look forward to the resumption of the second term set to begin on the 7th of May, 2024.

However, a report by The Manica Post on Friday indicated that several schools in Manicaland Province are conducting normal lessons in defiance of the government directive.

According to the report, vacation lessons are ongoing at schools such as Baring Primary School, Dangamvura Primary School, Murahwa Primary School and Rock of Ages.

While some schools reportedly had Forms Four, Five and Six classes, others had the whole stream of learners in class for the usual day-to-day lessons.

Parents and guardians are being asked to pay US$1 per day per learner at primary school, and US$10 per subject for those in secondary schools.

Some of the private schools are charging as much as US$20 per subject for secondary school learners due to increased enrolment after some public schools heeded the Government directive.

An authority at a private school in Mutare who spoke to The Manica Post on condition of anonymity said they ignored the Government directive to prepare their learners for the forthcoming Cambridge examinations.

You people in this ministry are being over zealous for no logical reason. We have kids who are going to be sitting for their crucial exams this year. As parents we have invested in their education so they can have a bright future. You therefore are not qualified to decide that our kids should rest. We want a return on our investment in the form of them passing for their exams. I as a parent know how much I need to push my kids to perfom well cause ndoziva pavano kundikana. Hatisi tese ana Albert Eistein, vamwe vanotoda kutsungirira kuti vabate zvidzidzo. Siyanai nesu.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Its obvious the government just wants teachers to be poor and to suffer with their families

The MoPSE has become crazy 🤣🤣. How can the quest for knowledge by our children at their own cost be criminalised❓Extra lessons are voluntary and taking a rest by the students is voluntary. The MoPSE should in fact regulate the running of these extra lessons, there are in fact unscrupulous teachers who are just after money, instead of teaching they load up students with WhatsApp exercises from green books. Mind you children should learn to acquire knowledge not just to pass and forget.

Learning methods have Change Msorowenja, if u didnt have whatsapp on your hey days u will never understand, whatsapp has mafde learning easier. I doubt u have a Kid, if u do u probably staying ith rural areas not knowing the impact of Education. If u support ED then you should know about Education 5.0 that ED is introdusing to better Learning for Learners. dont be Quick to judge. thise Parents parents whi still pay for ectra lesson. If a parent comes with money ask for my Service l will agree.
