*We Respect Teachers But They Should Be Realistic - Minister Mavima* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?zi The Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Paul Mavima said that while it was the Government’s desire to improve the welfare of teachers, they should be realistic and avoid making outrageous demands. Responding to journalists at the post-Cabinet briefing in Harare on Tuesday evening, Minister Mavima said “all genuine” unions representing teachers have agreed to the 41 per cent pay hike and a roadmap whereby negotiations between the employer and employees continue.

Mavima said Government had between February and November moved from where teachers were complaining of earning the equivalent of US$30 and US$40 to where now they are earning more than US$200. Meanwhile, some unions representing teachers such as the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) and the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) have accused the Apex Council and the Zimbabwe Teachers Union (ZIMTA) of betraying teachers. *More: The Herald* 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*
