Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Teachers\u2019 unions have criticised the move by the government to recruit 7 000 teachers in 2023 saying they are too few.<\/p>\n

Presenting the 2023 national budget in Parliament on Thursday, Ncube said the recruitment of a further 7 000 teachers will ensure the delivery of quality education.<\/p>\n

Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure said the move is welcome but does not fully address the shortage of teachers in schools. He said:<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe has a shortage of almost 90 000 teachers and more are leaving the profession because of underpayment.<\/p>\n

The 7 000 teachers we seek to recruit will be way below the numbers needed. Recruitment is however welcome and we should improve conditions of service to retain quality teachers.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Teachers Association secretary-general Goodwill Taderera said:<\/p>\n

The number of teachers that are being funded is not enough. As we speak, we have serious understaffing in schools.<\/p>\n

The number is not enough and that continues to exert pressure on teachers and that affects education.<\/p>\n

In June, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Evelyn Ndlovu said the country had a shortfall of 25 000 teachers.<\/p>\n

She also said the country has an establishment of 136 000 teachers.<\/p>\n
