Education Amendment Bill Deeply Flawed - Veritas
A legal think-tank, Veritas says the Education Amendment Bill is a flawed document that omits a number of critical issues.
Among the areas cited by Veritas, the Bill does not provide for outlawing the use of school premises for political purposes. Said Veritas:
The Bill has several worthwhile provisions but is marred by omissions and errors that show a surprising lack of attention to detail, and overall, it is a flawed document, which is a pity as a sound educational system is so important for Zimbabwe.

There are no provisions on general security or for outlawing the use of school premises for party political purposes or preventing schoolchildren and teachers being dragooned into attending political rallies in order to provide entertainment there.
