This problem has seemingly emanated from the poor remuneration being given to the teaching staff in most tertiary institutions in the country.
The Union sees these actions as a direct attack on education and are appealing to the Ministry of Higher Education to look into the issue. Education has been seriously compromised under the Mugabe administration, producing a poor standard of graduates. The June Ordinary and Advanced level ZIMSEC examinations are still to be marked due to lack of funds to pay the markers.
“We hope that the current talks between the main political players in the country are going to address the state of education in the country,” a union representative said.
