Hundreds of thousands forced to drop out of school

Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabwean kids are been forced to drop out of school each year. Zimbabwe now has its education system which was once a jewel in a serious crisis.

UP TO 300,000 children are being forced to drop out of school every year, a government minister said admitting the numbers were “too ghastly to contemplate”.

Zimbabwe was again confirmed to have the highest literacy rate in Africa but figures revealed by Youth and Empowerment minister Francis Nhema at the weekend suggest a new crisis has hit the country’s education sector.
