A classroom block and a computer laboratory have been commissioned at Masase Primary School in Mberengwa District as the Second Republic forges ahead with the drive to improve access to education in marginalised communities.
The move, which was necessitated by private players, will play a key role in providing quality education to rural learners.
“We are happy as parents because this move will play a key role in offering our learners a platform to get or access quality education, which is in line with government’s vision,” said a parent.
“We did not have computers at our school, and this development will help us research and keep us updated with modern trends,” noted a student.
The establishment of a new laboratory will play a crucial role in enhancing implementation of the Heritage-Based Education Framework.
“Government is working tirelessly to make sure that learners are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge, and this development clearly complements government’s efforts in achieving that feat,” said Mberengwa West legislator, Honourable Tafanana Zhou
Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Honourable Owen Ncube weighed in, “We have been doing this in the province, and I want to commend World Vision for coming up with this development. This clearly indicates that our private players are embracing President’s Mnangagwa’s calls of Nyika Inovakwa Nevene Vayo. We are happy to commission learning blocks here at Masase School. This will help our learners to embrace the Heritage based education 5.0 model so easily.”
The Second Republic is on a drive to construct schools across the country, with a target to reduce distances travelled by learners and improve access to quality education.
