Some lecturers informed students about a directive from authorities limiting them to teaching only three classes. Said a lecturer: > Unfortunately, I have some sad news to share with the group. I am no longer your lecturer due to a directive from the Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education (ZIMCHE) stating that we can only teach a maximum of three classes. > For example, if we consider the Waste Management module, which consists of block and conventional classes, along with a parallel class, these are now considered three separate classes. > In my case, I have already exceeded the three-class limit, having taught Waste Management (block class), a 2:2 class, and a Natural Resources class. > The class representative should approach the chairperson to inform them about the lack of lecturers. > While we can be compelled to come under the chairperson’s directive, the current situation raises concerns about your ability to prepare for exams in March without proper instruction. > Previously, I taught four modules, which translates to eight classes considering both block and conventional formats. With the two block classes, this effectively means four classes. > Since we are only allowed three, one class will be left without a lecturer. This is a significant issue with no clear solution at present. > I am currently in Bulawayo and will only come to Lupane for project-related matters. > As for your lecturers, I’m unsure what to do as the directive strictly emphasizes a three-class teaching limit. Contacted for comment by CITE, the University’s Director of Communications, Densen Kulube, could not immediately confirm the directive regarding the three-class teaching limit. Kulube, however, said, “Every registered student at the university has access to lecturers.” More: Pindula News _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
