The Amalgamated Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) claims that there could be more than 1 200 makeshift schools operating across the country. Arnold Chirikure, who conducts private lessons in Kuwadzana, told The Sunday Mail that he has put measures in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. He said: > Education has to carry on. We maintain social distancing and we have since contributed money to buy hand sanitizer that we apply before commencing studies. > I charge as little as US$7 per month for each child. I have since employed two qualified teachers. Schools were scheduled to reopen on May 5, but reports indicate that the government will push the date forward as the country deals with the coronavirus pandemic. *More: The Sunday Mail* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
