Young Teachers of Zimbabwe

We aim to represent the interest of Young Teacher's in Zimbabwe. We will share all about the joys and pains of young teacher's out there. We are non aligned.

One full year without a curriculum framework, no report yet on curriculum review process. Education planners and policy makers should take education serious. Right now teachers were supposed to have been trained and ready for the implementation of a new framework.

We call upon government to urgently improve on the conditions of service for the teachers.

Today we celebrate the teacher, the one who shapes the world. All professions come from the works of the teacher. As we celebrate this day we are aware that Zimbabwean teachers are not happy with their conditions of service. The country is facing a serious shortage of teachers.

Last night the regime’s propaganda and only TV station in Zimbabwe, ZBC-TV broadcast this propaganda piece which meant to mislead people into believing that Mutare General Hospital has a working Intensive Care Unit. This silly crude propaganda was meant to push back after a young Zimbabwean doctor died at that hospital because of a dilapidated system, it was in bad taste. The questions to ask ZBC and the hospital are; 1. How can a working ICU be in a room with such archaic equipment? 2. Why do you talk of a working ICU when the patients in the video are not receiving intensive care. 3. Why is the monitor/screen not connected to a patient if there are patients in the ICU, it never occurred to them that we know how it works. 4. How come there is no ventilated patient there, and why would a fractured patient go into ICU? 5. Why is there no patient admitted in the ICU if it’s functional? 6. Where is the anaesthetist and ICU nurses if the ICU is working? Why does the regime resort to such cheap propaganda?

@ProgressiveOf @RMajongwe @takavafira1967 @MoPSEZim This is really sad. Workers give all their years to the system and they should be paid better on retirement. It's also says that the people who are supporting this slavery forget that they will one day retire.

RTGS$12million US$375 This is what our member got after retiring from the teaching profession, having worked for 37 years. Pure evil. This money is not enough even to host a retirement party for the retired worker @RMajongwe @takavafira1967 @teachers_young @MoPSEZim

Third term has begun, the stresses continue. No update on the CALA review. Grade seven learners have to continue submitting 30 CALAs. A secondary doing 16 subjects has to submit 80 CALAs..

If teachers aren’t joyful about teaching… there is zero chance the students will be joyful about learning.

Kids do their best when taught by teachers who not only share information but also show them real care and kindness. It's in this supportive environment that the love for learning grows strong and lasts a lifetime.

@MoPSEZim @taundoro @Camfed @EdDevTrust @GPforEducation @WorldVisionZim @ecozim @rodrickmandi @PlanZimbabwe @zimta01 @ProgressiveOf @ZBCNewsonline Timing of this exercise is definitely off. Just a day before schools close. Why can't these exercises be done mid term. For the program to be effective more time is needed rather than just a few minutes visit

@MoPSEZim in conjunction with partner organisations is this week conducting Joint Monitoring Visits (JMV) to selected schls across Zim. The JMV targets hard-to-reach schls to ascertain implementation of aspects such as WASH, health, infrastruc & ppl discipline. @taundoro

@psczimbabwe What about those who want to opt-out? PSC offices seem to be delaying in effecting cessation.

The PSC is offering GEMS loans, online registration and giving instant query attendance. Please come through if you have pension and salary queries, and receive instant attention.

@MoPSEZim @RMajongwe @taundoro @ProgressiveOf @MachenjeraP @TalentMuchanga1 Can the nation be updated on the curriculum review process. What stage are we in. Whole year without a curriculum framework shows a systematic failure. CALA demands are creating avenues for corruption. Education planners should just stop this before it gets out of hand

@RMajongwe @taundoro @ProgressiveOf @MachenjeraP @teachers_young @TalentMuchanga1 Please note CALA is part and parcel of the teaching and learning process hence nothing called consolidation fee is required. If any school is charging such please bring it to our attention so we address it.

@MoPSEZim what are these CALA CONSOLIDATION things underway in Schools? Parents are being asked to deposit amounts ranging from $120- 180. We have no answers. @taundoro @ProgressiveOf @MachenjeraP @teachers_young @TalentMuchanga1

@RMajongwe @GGuvamatanga @Mavhure @King22Mabusa @ProgressiveOf @rovabhora @vodlozaomhle Incapacitation is real. Even higher offices are feeling the heat

@GGuvamatanga are you suggesting that Treasury has no toner or ink? Surely how can you do this ? Am very disappointed. @Mavhure @King22Mabusa @ProgressiveOf @rovabhora @vodlozaomhle @teachers_young

Election 2023 Schools should be safe spaces for children. We urge political parties to respect children's rights to education by not forcing learners to attend rallies in schools. Intimidating teachers to attend rallies during working hours should not be part of campaigning.

@ProgressiveOf @psczimbabwe @RMajongwe @takavafira1967 The welfare of civil servants is an urgent matter which should be addressed before anything else. The development of a nation is dependent on the welfare of it's civil servants.

The @psczimbabwe Minister’s silence over civil service salaries, which he and the President promised to address urgently, indicates that he doesn’t care a hoot. Maybe govt is angling for confrontation. This can’t go on @RMajongwe @takavafira1967 @teachers_young

Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers don’t need to be fixed but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated. Thank you to all the amazing leaders who do!

No one should be able to make decisions about education without spending time in the classroom. Especially policies implemented by politicians.

Does ZACC ever trouble anyone else or it's just civil servants? How many arrests and prosecutions have been done by ZACC for corruption ? Civil servants are being abused on the pretense of stopping corruption.

Civil servants deserve better than this. A whole month pay which is not enough to take a rural teacher from their workplace to their home is truly a joke. They can support as much as they care but the truth is the employer is failing workers.

May 2023 Rural allowance for a teacher is 3516.00 zwl Life of a Zimbabwean worker. Kurough Kuwaaah

Zimbabwean civil servants are officially not earning a salary. The rtgs salary has been eroded to such an extent that it is an embarrassment to talk about it. Even those who negotiate on behalf of government are embarrassed to reveal it in public. Workers deserve better.
