By A Correspondent| National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) leader, Professor Lovemore Madhuku has described the pathetic pass-rate recorded in the 2020 Grade 7 examinations as a national disaster which calls for every citizen to play a part in restoring the once flourishing education sector.

Madhuku who is also a constitutional law expert said the 38 percent passrate recorded causes him pains as he himself is a beneficiary of a solid primary education which has now been eroded by governance.

“The less than 38% pass rate for the 2020 Grade 7 results causes me pain. It is a national disaster. I am what I am because of a solid primary school education. The results are a call to national duty: I will find a way of contributing to the improvement of our education system,” said Madhuku.

Further probed by Twitter users, Madhuku hit directly at the government saying it had failed the nation.

“It is a political problem: the Government has failed us here,” added the University of Zimbabwe law professor.

Madhuku said he will use his presence in the Political Actors Dialogue to push for a solution so as to stop the further damage to the country’s education system.
