Zimbabwe: Pupils Sent Home as Teachers Strike Continues
Several boarding schools have been forced to send students back home because of the continuing teachers’ strike. Teachers embarked on a ‘work boycott’ when schools opened on Tuesday, demanding salary increases that are commensurate with the hyper-inflationary environment.
As a result of the unstable Zimbabwean dollar, the teachers are asking for a salary equivalent to US$800. Some have said this is too high and is not likely to be met by the bankrupt Mugabe regime.
