The much appraised Zimbabwe’s education system has been criticized by experts as it is not creating entrepreneurs which are key in working towards the country’s middle class economy vision 2030.
This came to light at a black empowerment conference held today by ZIST in Harare and was running under the theme ‘Rebuilding the missing middle income class in Zimbabwe: a case for economic empowerment.’
Addressing the audience at the conference, Dr. Nigel Chanakira CEO for Success Motivation Institute said Zimbabwea should change their education system and create a system that creates minds that are self sufficient rather than dependent.
“Creating an education system that makes people self sufficient is the real revolution.
At the same time we are not appropriately teaching pfumvudza program which drastically reduces the work load for farmers but brings in good yield,” he said.
Chanakira also added that no one will come from outside to solve Zimbabwean problems, but Zimbabweans themselves.
ZANU-PF’s war veterans association chairman and also newly appointed Politburo secretary for information Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa sang the same tune with Chanakira and said Zimbabwe a quest for prosperity determines the essence of middle class economy.
“People will sacrifice because of the quest for prosperity which led young boys and girls into the liberation struggle.
If we fail to achieve it then the sacrifice by war veterans was in vain,” he said.
International coach and strategist Joshua Maponga acknowledged Zimbabweans to shun talking negative things about their country because the biggest ambassadors of a country are its owners.
Since the western already speak negatively about Zimbabwe, Zimbabweans should desist from the raucous sayings which actually add fuel to a fire.
“You should identify the good in the country while working towards correcting the bad.
Even if your mother is bad, you will obviously hide it from the public,” he noted.
Maponga also urged the leaders that they transform the country’s education system and remove, in the alleged pipeline, economic, political, education, religious and other blockages.
Zimbabweans have also been urged to work hard for what they want and not just pray about success because it has to be worked for and does not come on a silver platter.
