Cabinet okays joint ventures for schools
Mukudzei Chingwere-Herald Reporter
Practical subjects will be commercialised in schools through fostering joint ventures with private investors and this will upgrade the education system and start allowing a flow of profits that can help parents cope with school fees.
Cabinet last week approved a two-pronged teaching approach aimed at profit-making and academic excellence, with schools now expected to venture into commercial activity for practical subjects, said Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa.
“The Ministry (of Primary and Secondary Education) will promote commercial ventures in schools through use of land and space available to schools,” she said.
