Schools shortage compromise quality of education
Prosper Ndlovu
HUNDREDS of pupils in Bulawayo are forced to learn under crowded conditions amid reports that there is a serious shortage of classrooms at the city’s schools.
According to the council’s latest report, most schools have a bloated enrolment that makes it difficult to conduct lessons effectively.
Bulawayo has only 128 primary schools and 50 secondary schools.
Most schools are council-run while the remainder are either government or private schools.
The Director of Housing and Community Services, Mr Isaiah Magagula, said enrolment in some council schools was more than 2 000 pupils.
“Some schools have eclipsed the 2 000 enrolment mark. Enrolment figures for Tategulu and Mahlathini Primary schools in Cowdray Park is 2 283 and 2 091 respectively, Dumezweni Primary in Pumula South is 2 199 while Senzangakhona Primary in Emganwini is 2 164,” said Mr Magagula.
