*ZIMTA Criticises 'Arrogant' & 'Heartless' Education Ministry Perm Sec* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?gq The Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association (ZIMTA) says it is appalled by Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education permanent secretary Tumisang Thabela’s lack of compassion after she said teachers should borrow money for bus fare to travel to their workplaces. At a post-Cabinet media briefing on Tuesday, Thabela asked the broke teachers to borrow money so that they could travel to their workplaces, comments that have angered ZIMTA. ---------- *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* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Said Gundane: > The lack of concern and careless attitude displayed by the secretary of a very large ministry such as the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education in Zimbabwe leaves a lot to be desired. > It’s clearer now than before that, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education does not hold teachers in high regard, neither do they care about their welfare. This is more than sad. > It is a misrepresentation of issues and facts, and a display of arrogant attitude in the education sector in Zimbabwe, an element which is undesirable. > … Teachers are not only feeling disrespected, but honestly, they are ashamed to get this kind of representation at a Cabinet or Parliamentary briefing level. Gundane stated that Thabela had let down the country’s 140 000 teachers. He reminded Thabela that “teachers can’t borrow to sustain the system, the system must support the teachers to educate the nation.” *More: Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
