Teachers Absent As schools Re-open

Teachers have been urged to report for duty as schools opened under Phase Three which has paved the way for lessons for everyone in primary and secondary school to resume being conducted in the classroom.

Early Childhood Development (ECD) A to Grade Five pupils joined the Grade Six and Seven classes in primary schools while Form One and Two joined their seniors who had opened in September and last month.

However, teachers did not report for duty in some schools.

Some parents had to withdraw their children when they observed no learning related activities happening at the institutions.

Pupils were crowded outside schools waiting for school authorities to attend to them in Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, Hwange among other parts of country. Only school heads and a few support staff were present in some schools.

Pupils told Chronicle news crews that they were told that they would be updated via official social media platforms to return to school once teachers are available. Bulawayo24
