Farai Dziva| A government official has accused teachers of snubbing normal teaching schedules so that they can charge for extra lessons in foreign currency.

Primary and Secondary Education Deputy Minister
Edgar Moyo warned teachers against the practice.

It is not only the education sector that is facing challenges, according to Moyo.

“What is worrying now is that it seems teachers are not teaching during their normal working hours.

They seem to deliberately delay covering the syllabi so that they have an excuse to conduct extra lessons for a fee.

That should stop forthwith. Everyone is facing challenges, it’s not just the teachers and they should abide by the law,” Moyo told Chronicle.
