Zimbabwe Reports Major School Construction Progress in 2024.
Zimbabwe built 90 new schools and 380 classroom blocks last year as part of a national push to improve education access. Education Minister Torerayi Moyo announced these figures during his visit to Matarutse Primary School.
The project aims to cut travel distances for students and create stronger buildings that can handle tough weather. Many rural schools face problems with old, damaged structures that put students at risk.
"We plan to build more schools where children must walk over 5 kilometers to learn," Moyo said. The work supports President Mnangagwa's Vision 2030 plan for better education across Zimbabwe.
Parents in the Mhondoro-Mubaira area have worried about unsafe classrooms. The government will build two new schools there with special designs to resist climate damage. Local lawmaker Chamu Chiwanza donated building supplies to help fix schools in his district.
One parent said, "Our children need safe classrooms during rain. We appreciate the new school plans."
The education ministry expects to add 50 more schools in 2025 using donor money. This growth should reduce crowded classrooms and help more rural students attend school.
The government worked with private groups on these projects. Officials say the 2025 budget includes funds to fix old school buildings. This building program marks big progress in fixing Zimbabwe's school problems and making education available to more students.
