Teachers on Monday boycotted reporting for duty citing incapacitation and inadequate personal protective equipment (PPEs).
The boycott followed Zimbabwe Teachers Association (ZIMTA) stating that their members are incapacitated to report for work.
ZIMTA chief-executive officer Sifiso Ndlovu said that their members resolved to boycott learning until the issue of PPEs in schools was addressed.
“Schools, especially public schools are yet to be equipped with PPEs and as ZIMTA we felt it was not proper to expose both teachers and pupils to COVID-19.”
” Even parents don’t have money for PPEs and therefore you will note that most of our members failed to report for duty,” he said.
Government recently opened schools in stages starting with examination classes following 6 months of closure since March to curb the spread of COVID19.
Prior to the opening of schools teachers have been demanding a review of their salaries in USD to meet the melting economy.
