We submitted a petition at 11am giving Zimsec a 24 hour ultimatum to settle T and S for examiners, at 12:00 pm they made a 30% payment this shows that the State has capacity to pay but they just do not want to. Zimbabwean State continues to manage the Crisis of Capitalism on the backs of the Working people.

We have given @zimsecOFFICIAL a 24 hour ultimatum to address the working conditions of our examiners.

Protests have erupted in Tanzania, with citizens taking to the streets in defiance of a heavily militarised state. Demonstrators are reportedly targeting the homes of individuals believed to be close to the dictator, expressing their anger over the stolen election and months of repression. Despite the presence of armed security forces, protesters are refusing to bow down or retreat, as seen in this video.

We have officially petitioned Parliament over salary disparities affecting teachers. The Speaker has pledged urgent attention on the issue. #FairPayForTeachers #UNATU #IndustrialActionUG

Happy World Teachers Day! Reclaiming Our Profession Through Unity & Collective Action 05 October 2025 Today, we celebrate the extraordinary dedication of Zimbabwe’s teachers, the architects of our nation’s future. While we honor your unwavering commitment, this year’s theme, "Recasting teaching as a collaborative profession," demands more than gratitude. It calls for a radical transformation of our profession through solidarity, collective bargaining, and joint action to secure the dignity and resources we deserve. Collaboration: Our Path to Educational Excellence True collaboration, free from political division, can revolutionize Zimbabwe’s classrooms. We must build; 1. Mentorship Networks: Seasoned teachers guiding new graduates, sharing wisdom across generations. 2. ⁠Shared Expertise Hubs: Digital repositories for lesson plans and masterclasses, bridging urban-rural divides. 3. Mobile Resource Brigades: Schools pooling labs and equipment for STEM fairs in underserved communities. 4. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs): Teachers co-planning lessons and refining strategies together. 5. Cross-School Subject Associations: National networks to elevate teaching practices in math, science, and languages. These structures thrive only in an environment of trust and unity not surveillance. Divisive initiatives like "Teachers for ED" poison our schools, sabotage collaboration, and ultimately harm our students. Collaboration as Emancipation: Our Collective Power Collaboration isn’t just pedagogical, it’s also political. To dismantle exploitation, we must: 1. Unite in Collective Bargaining: Negotiate as one voice for living wages, adequate learning materials, and safe classrooms. 2. Mobilize Collective Job Actions: Strategically coordinate work stoppages, protests, and advocacy to demand policy changes. 3. Build Cross Union Alliances: Partner with parents, students, and labor movements to amplify our struggle. Our strength lies in our numbers. When teachers collaborate beyond school walls, refusing to be divided by geography, experience, or political pressure we become an unstoppable force for systemic change. Join Us: From Celebration to Mobilization We invite you to the ARTUZ Sports Day on 22 November in Gweru, not just for recreation, but to fortify our collective resolve. This is where we: 1. Strategize for upcoming bargaining sessions 2. Coordinate actions for better working conditions 3. Strengthen the networks that make our profession unbreakable. Our Demand On this Teachers’ Day, we declare: 1. Dissolve "Teachers for ED" and all partisan programs that fracture our unity. Education cannot flourish in an atmosphere of fear. 2. ⁠Pay teachers a fair wage in line with the constitution and reverse teacher attrition where 1 200 teachers are leaving the profession monthly. 3. ⁠Incorporate rights to collective job actions and collective bargaining in the coming Public Service Act. To Every Teacher Your passion lights our future. Now, let’s unite to ignite a movement. Together, through collaboration and collective action, we will reclaim our profession’s dignity and secure the schools Zimbabwe’s children deserve. Happy Teachers’ Day! Our liberation is collective or it is nothing. ARTUZ INFORMATION DEPARTMENT 📧ruraltrsunion@gmail.com 📞+263777473135/776219336/775643192 Follow us @: ARTUZ_ teachers

The leadership of the Hopley Parents Teachers Association, have petitioned @cityofharare2 to allocate them land to build a community school. Section 8 (2) of the Education Act of 2020 clearly states that, “Every local authority in Zimbabwe shall provide land for school infrastructure.” The Hopley community is therefore asking the City authorities to provide them with a piece of land they can build their own school. Central government and local authority may build additional schools in future but the community want to urgently construct a Secondary School for their children. Over to you Mayor Mafume and your Council. We are witnessing the power of community here. #OneSchoolForHopley @OMasaraure @daddyhope @Dadzamatola @gladyshlatywayo @JobSikhala1 @eduint @Masiyiwa7 @EmmanuelSitima7 @Zinasuzim @ecozim @taundoro @MoPSEZim

Clause 8 of the proposed bill mentions Collective Bargaining in passing. We demand the explicit mentioning of the establishment of a Public Sector Collective Bargaining Council, PSCBC. Such Council shall be constituted by sector specific bargaining councils. The Council should be established through a constitution agreed through Collective Bargaining. The PSCBC shall replace the now defunct NJNC. #PSAbill

Watch Hopley Parents condemning the barring of learners from exam rooms for failing to pay school fees. ARTUZ continues to mobilize communities to demand State funded education in line with section 75 of the constitution. youtu.be/-3nBiHSTEJ0?si… via @YouTube

We are in Solidarity with Teachers in Uganda.

Section 65 (3) of the constitution provides for the right to engage in Collective Job Actions, (Strike). To date Civil servants were barred from engaging in Strike action. The new bill presents an opportunity to enact a law protecting job actions. Clause 22 of amendment bill should lay down the procedure of engaging in a job action. The bill should not relegate this to regulations. The Labour Act gives a good precedence. Section 104 of the Labour Act clearly stipulates the procedure of going on a job action. The Public Service Act should offer the same. #PSAbill

RT @ARTUZ_teachers: Over the years we have seen some Members of Parliament investing into education from the Constituency Development Fund,…

No child should risk their life for the sake of education.Over 10,000 students have suffered harm, death, abduction and arrest.We urgently call for initiatives that foster a safe education environment .We urge all relevant stakeholders worldwide to unite in support of education.

Masvingo had the highest turnout so far for the ongoing consultations for the ZIMSEC bill.Payment of examination fees should be scrapped from the ZIMSEC Act in light of section 75 of the constitution. State should fund education including public examinations.⁦@Dadzamatola⁩
