Construction of schools in Zimbabwe is set to get underway in ten provinces, a move that is seen as a boost to education in the country the ministry of education has confirmed.
The construction of schools in Zimbabwe is aimed at enabling many pupils and students to go to school and reduce the number of population in the already existing schools. The construction of the 200 schools is set to be completed before the end of the year. However, the government of Zimbabwe targets to construct over 2000 schools by next year.
The Educational Minister Dr Lazarus Dokora has received greenlight from the cabinet to start constructing the schools as soon as possible.
He said this while speaking to the parents, students and pupils during the official give up of computers at Mukomberanwa Secondary School in Chirumhanzu last week in one of their old schools .
The construction of schools in Zimbabwe comes at a time when there is a deficit of two thousand and sixty schools in the country.
Minister Dokora said that the construction project of the new two thousand schools would be finished by March next year fearing that rains would delay the construction work..
The need to build new schools in Zimbabwe emerged in 2013, owing to congestion in classes. The government of Zimbabwe is currently working with investors to ensure the project becomes a reality.
