MPs call for increased education funding to match private school standards

Members of Parliament in the National Assembly have called on the government to allocate ample resources to the education sector to foster excellence on par with private schools.

Members in this regard also expressed concern about the revised curriculum, noting its failure to accommodate everyone.

PDM’s Charmaine Tjirare advocated for the removal of the new curriculum, urging the government to reconsider previous successful approaches that yielded positive results for students.

Tjirare emphasised that the critical challenge of a high failure rate in government schools is not solely attributed to insufficient fund allocation.

Instead, it is intertwined with the government’s restructured education system, which significantly impacts the performance of these schools.
