*"Teachers Offer To Teach For Free In Public Schools"* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?sn Teachers’ unions say their members will not offer free services after about 400 teachers reportedly offered to “teach for free” in public schools as a way of showing patriotism. Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) president Takavafira Zhou told NewsDay that the move is a strategy by the government to justify the underpayment of teachers. Zhou said: ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- > It is madness of the worst kind, if not a ludicrous hallucination. It’s peddled by the government in an attempt to justify the underpayment of teachers on the pretext that there are qualified teachers ready to render services freely. > We have a deficit of more than 50 000 teachers in schools and the government must urgently fill the deficit as a matter of urgency. > Government must come up with contingent measures to remunerate teachers well rather than trying to justify the unjustifiable. Educators Union of Zimbabwe (EUZ) secretary-general Tapedza Zhou said: > Ministry officials have been drinking too much from the glass of politicians to the extent of using partisan and corrupted vocabulary, where they interchangeably use ‘patriotism’ and ‘impoverishment’ as if they mean the same. What patriotism comes from an impoverished teacher? > Why are responsible ministry officials, most of whom are not impoverished, not leading by example in patriotism by paying the volunteering teachers, instead of, for example, splashing money on foreign musicians during their own birthday parties? Zimbabwe Teachers Association secretary-general Goodwell Taderera said: > Where in the world have you seen people working for free? How can people be donating their labour for nothing, which is a serious and gross [unfair] labour practice? > It can only be a gimmick from authorities and the powers that be in order to pacify teachers and they do not fight for their rights. That gives us the resolve to keep fighting even harder. 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*
