*Unregistered Infant Schools Plead For Grace Period* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?fr The Early Childhood Association of Zimbabwe (ESAZ) has appealed to the Government for a three-month grace period for unregistered private schools to regularise their operations. This comes after Harare Metropolitan Provincial Affairs and Devolution secretary Tafadzwa Muguti last week gave unregistered schools a 48-hour ultimatum to shut down on their own or face prosecution. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- ECAZ chairperson Morris Chivandire argued that the ultimatum was counterproductive as private schools are complementing the efforts of the government in providing basic education. Said Chivandire: > We take note that the laws of our country require us as infants schools to register and concede to the fact that the majority of our members are not registered despite being operational. > We, however, implore the government to relax some of the requirements such as the prescribed land size required to register an infant school. > We believe that we are complementing the efforts of the government in providing basic education which is a right for every child. > This is in light of government’s own admission that it is short of 2 000 schools. Chivandire pointed out that infants school operators face several hurdles in registering their institutions. He added: > The bottlenecks faced by many of our members are at the local government level where the registration is supposed to start with the health and environmental inspections, change of use from residential to business for those operating from residential houses. *More: NewsDay* 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*
