Education boss Torerayi Moyo cheered for Kuredza Primary School today. The school teaches many job skills right alongside reading and math. Kids learn farming and other hands-on work at this Kadoma school. Mr. Moyo wants every school to copy what happens here because it matches exactly what the Heritage-Based Education plan aims for. He spoke at a special event where The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave the school new classrooms.
Mr. Moyo really liked how the school makes money from student projects. These student-run businesses bring cash to help pay for school needs. Not many primary schools across Zimbabwe teach technical skills like Kuredza does. The students grow crops and learn trades that help them earn actual money. This makes the school less dependent on outside help for basic supplies and improvements.
The minister believes schools should teach both books and practical skills. When students learn to work with their hands, they gain abilities that last a lifetime. The Heritage-Based Education model wants children to become problem-solvers who can support themselves later. Kuredza shows how well this works when a school commits fully to the approach. Their success comes from letting students practice real jobs every day.
The new classroom block will help even more children learn these important skills. Church members built these rooms because they saw how well the school taught useful trades. Mr. Moyo hopes other schools will visit Kuredza and learn from what the teachers do there. He thinks Zimbabwe needs more schools where children grow food, fix things, and create products people want to buy.
Kuredza stands out because students leave with both knowledge and skills. They can read well but also know how to plant seeds and watch them grow. The school teaches children to think like business owners from an early age. When schools balance reading books with growing crops, children learn everything they need for the future. Mr. Moyo promises more support for schools ready to follow this successful example.
