Zimbabwe loses 25 000 teachers as brain drain quickens
An alarming 25 000 Zimbabwean school teachers have left the country since January, unhappy over poor pay and working conditions, a teachers union said on Tuesday.
The Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ), which said it is carrying out an audit of teachers in the country, said out of that total 10 000 teachers had left in the last three months alone despite the government hiking teachers' and other civil servants' salaries in October.
The union said its survey had also revealed that the exodus was no longer limited to mostly junior to middle-ranking teachers, with senior and more experienced educationists such as district education officers and provincial directors also leaving.
