Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association, have indicated that there is a considerable teacher outflow from Zimbabwe, with some 300 teachers departing the nation each month.
The main reason for this exodus is Zimbabwe’s relatively low wages as compared to other countries in southern Africa.
The nation must discover strategies to retain and attract teaching talent, even though wage increases are difficult owing to financial limitations.
Zimbabwe’s typical teacher makes a maximum of $350 per month, which results in a loss of qualified teachers who are essential for guiding the country’s kids, and budget restrictions make it difficult to hire extra teachers who are required to support the students of the nation.
For many years, the education system in Zimbabwe was regarded as one of the greatest on the continent. This was one of the few successes under the rule of former president Robert Mugabe.
