Presenting its 2019 Budget priorities before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development, the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development said it is aiming to train more science teachers.
Secretary for Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Professor Fanuel Tagwira told the committee that there were few science teachers and the ministry wants to train 5 000 science teachers in the next 5 years if it gets funding. Said Tagwira:
We expect that our higher tertiary education institutions to produce graduates who can analyse problems objectively and apply facts that they learn in class to the problems faced in society. We also expect the institutions to become engines for development and help Zimbabwe to catch up with the rest of the world and to be able to tackle national challenges and stimulate industrialisation.
