Teachers’ Plea Falls on Deaf Ears: Government Ignores Plight

UZ Lecturers Tired Of Peanuts

The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Association of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) secretary general, Robson Chere, has expressed frustration over the government’s refusal to engage with teachers on their salary demands. Teachers are seeking a modest US$1,260 monthly salary, a far cry from the current US$350 paid in the ever-depreciating ZiG currency.

Government officials, including Minister Torerai Moyo, have consistently avoided meetings with teachers’ associations, leaving the educators feeling disrespected and unvalued. Chere warned that their silence shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness, emphasizing that teachers are patriotic professionals who deserve better.

The current salary is barely enough to cover living expenses, forcing many teachers to struggle financially. The ZiG currency’s depreciation has further eroded their purchasing power, making it difficult for them to afford basic necessities.

The government’s evasive tactics have led to a cycle of protests, stay-aways, and go-slows, with teachers demanding a living wage. Instead of engaging with the issue, the government has labeled these actions “anti-establishment” and “unpatriotic.”

“We are not weaklings, we are not cowards, we are not secondary citizens,” Chere declared. “We choose to sacrifice and serve our country, but we expect to be treated with dignity and respect.” The teachers’ unions are determined to push for their demands, and it remains to be seen whether the government will finally listen.

As the stalemate continues, the education sector faces uncertainty. Will the government prioritize teachers’ welfare and engage in meaningful dialogue, or will the crisis persist? The fate of Zimbabwe’s education system hangs in the balance.
