Teachers Embark On Nationwide Strike As Schools Reopen In Zimbabwe + Salary Equivalent To $40


WOW.......Forty dollars?

Hundreds of Zimbabwean teachers demanding better pay stayed at home on Monday, as the Federal Government reopened schools after six months of coronavirus restrictions in the West African country.


Teachers “did not turn up for duty,” the secretary-general of one of the country’s largest unions, the Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe, Raymond Majongwe, told AFP.

The secretary-general said teachers battle to “survive” and that they can’t even afford to send their own children to school.

Teachers’ salaries, he said, have been heavily eroded by inflation which stands at over 700 per cent to an average equivalent of $40 a month, down from $550 in October 2018.

“Forty dollars is an insult. Teachers have lost their ranking in society. It’s actually an insult to be a teacher. It’s a curse,” he said.

Zimbabwe is being buffeted by its worst economic crisis in over a decade and is grappling with hyperinflation.

  8. Huummm....This is the reality teachers face in Nigeria. My first pay as a teacher was 15K.

    Teaching job in Nigeria is indeed a joke and I'm praying to God for favour.

    I can't even feed well much more investments. I went back to school for Masters and I'm totally discouraged.

    It's well tho'

    I need help Lord!!!!
