THE ZANU PF-led government continues to ensure improved working conditions for teachers in rural communities through ensuring access to clean water and accommodation with Mutamba School in Zaka being the latest to benefit.
The Zaka community has commended the Second Republic for making efforts to bridge the gap between rural and urban schools through ensuring improved infrastructure.
This Saturday saw the handover of accommodation facilities for teachers at Mutamba School in Zaka, a development they celebrated.
“Many teachers used to shun schools in this area due to lack on accommodation, however we are happy that this development will ensure our teachers here at Mutamba have decent accommodation,” said a traditional leader.
“We are excited that apart from the accommodation facilities we have seen government sinking boreholes at schools, a development we have seen improving access to clean water not only for our teachers but also for pupils,” noted a community member.
Zaka Central legislator, Honorable Davis Marapira, who spearheaded the project, said the development will ensure improved access to education for local pupils and they are working on establishing business units in all schools.
“We are excited that we managed to finish this project, with the assistance from the community around and we are working on many others in this constituency with the support from government including increasing classroom blocks and grading our rural roads, all this in support of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030,” he said.
Government is currently working on a number of infrastructure development projects to ensure decent accommodation and improved working conditions for civil servants.
