*Govt blocks Bulawayo City Council's plan to surrender the running of all municipal schools to parents* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?vz Government has blocked a Bulawayo City Council (BCC) resolution to surrender the running of all municipal schools to parents saying doing so is against the country’s education policy. In an interview with The Chronicle yesterday, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Dr Slyvia Utete-Masango said that if any transfer were to happen, it has to be to the Government. According to the latest council minutes, BCC revealed that it was going to hand over 29 primary and one secondary school to school development committees (SDCs) as part of measures to cut costs. However, Dr Utete-Masango said the municipality’s decision was not practical as SDCs are not permanent. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

It said if schools are handed over to SDCs, the collection of fees should improve. More: Chronicle _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
