GOVERNMENT ministries are exploring ways of mainstreaming the psychomotor concept in primary, secondary and higher education, a Cabinet minister said yesterday. Cde Josiah Hungwe, the Minister of State for Liaising on Psychomotor Activities in Education, told journalists in Harare that his ministry was collaborating with the ministries of Primary and Secondary Education and Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development to infuse the psychomotor domain into all levels of teaching and learning.
“Consultations are on-going with the education ministries and other relevant ministries that constitute the inter-ministerial committee on mainstreaming the psychomotor concept into education,” he said.
“We’re involved and people are already involved in the discussions about the curriculum and what aspects need to be changed. It’s a process as you know but we’ve already started and engagement has begun to that effect, so we must expect some results sooner than later.”
He said integration of psychomotor skills into the education system would boost job creation capacity and fight poverty.
“Currently, limited employment opportunities have left millions of youths stuck in the vicious poverty. We have to agree that this is a crisis.”
Minister Hungwe said the ministry was created to encourage entrepreneurship, and technical and vocational training.
