The opposition MDC Alliance has urged government to urgently address the remuneration of teachers to restore the dignity of the teaching profession in Zimbabwe.

The MDC Alliance made the remarks while marking the World Teachers Day which is commemorated on the 5th of October every year.

“The MDC Alliance joins the world in commemorating World Teachers’ Day. We cherish the contribution teachers make to society & urge the Govt to urgently address the teacher remuneration crisis & restore the dignity of the teaching profession in Zimbabwe,” the party said.

Teachers are currently fighting with government over low salaries, plunging the schools re-opening plan as they are refusing to report for duty without better remuneration.
