Teachers who marked the 2024 Grade 7 examinations for the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) are yet to receive the ZiG component of their payment.

According to the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ), educators who participated in the moderation of the Continuous Assessment Learning Activities (CALA) in September have been left without 60% of the ZiG component of their due payments.

ARTUZ expressed frustration over the delay in payments, highlighting the ongoing financial struggles teachers face.

The union stated, “Grade 7 results were released but the teacher remains unpaid.”

“Travel and Subsistence, T&S allowances for the markers were not fully paid, 60% ZiG component of T&S still outstanding.

100% of the payment, (ZiG) for marking scripts is still to be paid,” the union revealed.

The situation underscores the financial strain on teachers under the current administration, which has failed to settle these essential dues despite the release of the examination results.
