The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has dismissed speculation regarding a leaked internal document concerning the potential renaming of schools in the Mbare/Hatfield District.
In an interview, Taungana Ndoro, the Ministry’s Director of Communications and Advocacy, said that the paper is part of a preliminary consultation process and does not represent an official decision or directive.
“We wish to clarify the context to avoid unnecessary speculation. The memo in question is part of a very preliminary, internal information-gathering exercise,” said Ndoro.
“As a Ministry, we routinely undertake consultative processes to gather preliminary proposals and justifications from a small selection of schools on a variety of matters.
“This particular exercise is simply an initial request for suggestions—nothing more. It is not a decision, a directive, or an announcement of imminent changes.
“No school names have been changed, and no final proposal has been tabled before the relevant authorities.”
He said any future consideration of school name changes would involve a comprehensive and inclusive consultation with all stakeholders, including parents, alumni, local communities, and traditional leaders.
