Beitbridge Municipality with the support of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is cracking down on unregistered private schools that have mushroomed across the town.
The district has 71 primary and 18 secondary registered schools.
It is believed that more than 20 unregistered facilities are operating in Beitbridge.
In a statement, the municipality raised concern over the increase in the number of unregistered private schools operating in the district.
“The municipality and relevant stakeholders shall conduct an exercise to get rid of unregistered schools.
“We strongly urge parents and guardians to ensure that their children are enrolled at registered schools that comply with all regulations. Some unregistered private schools compromise the well-being and safety of our children”, said the municipality.
“Choosing a properly registered school guarantees a standard of education that meets both local and national requirements. This will safeguard your child’s learning experience and future opportunities.
“Let’s work together to provide quality education for our children.”
In some instances, pupils enrolled at unregistered schools have faced challenges in registering for public examinations.
