Minister of education Lazarus Dokora has been accused of causing chaos in the education sector. Dokora is being accused of introducing the new curriculum without adequate preparations and without making the necessary consultations to the stakeholder’s in the education sector
Former Minister of education and DEokora’s predecessor David Coltart said:
I’m deeply concerned about what my successor is doing to education,
Dokora has also been slammed by the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) on the same issue. PTUZ president, Takavafira Zhou said:
This move is not only intransigent and callous, but also a monumental injustice, impermeable to reason and facts.
Fundamentally, the syllabi are not readily available in schools. The teaching material or textbooks for the new curricula are not readily available, yet there are completely new subjects that have been introduced such as Heritage Studies and Economic History.
Zimbabwe Christian Alliance leader, Useni Sibanda, called for parents and teachers to resist the new curriculum. Said Sibanda:
Dokora rushed to implement the curriculum, this needs to be opposed by citizens. These are our children, we need to have a thorough input into what will be taught.
In the new curriculum for Ordinary Level students have to do 7 compulsory subjects.

We say NO! NO! NO! to dokoraism doctrine. We do not want Islam in our schools – Our children are Christians and we worship One True God of Heaven through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth. All Christians – please stand up for this agent of darkness by the title; minister of education. His mission is to destroy our future , that is, our children and this requires you and me to say NO!!! to this vehicle of the devil. We need Christianity back in our schools, we are a Christian country and a country after our God in Heaven in Jesus Christ. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and we must resist this devil by all means. I urge all Christian brothers and sisters to stand up for our faith in Christ and resist the Curriculum of the devil in our schools.
