Parents in Masvingo have raised concern over some teachers who are demanding money for their students to attend extra lessons.
The parents told Hevoi FM News that they are being forced to pay $10 per subject for extra lessons.
“We have paid the whole school fees in full for this term but since the opening of schools we are being told that we need to pay $US 10 per subject every month so that our children would be able to attend extra lessons and this is tantamount to day light robbery and Zacc must intervene,”said a parent who preferred to be named Mai Zaza.
Other parents told Hevoi FM news that some teachers are also demanding money to purchase internet bundles so that they will be able to conduct online lessons.
“Some teachers are also demanding that we buy them Internet bundles so that they will conduct online lessons with our children….where do we get that money from?,”fumed another parent.
Two weeks ago, the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission arrested some teachers in the country who were forcing parents to pay money for extra lessons.
