Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 87621, member: 27"] A 2027 deadline for mandatory Heritage-Based Curriculum adoption is about to shake up every school in Zimbabwe, from government classrooms to elite private institutions. All Zimbabwean schools must adopt the HBC by 2027 [LIST] [*]Primary and Secondary Education Minister Torerayi Moyo announced that the Heritage-Based Curriculum will become compulsory nationwide starting in 2027. [*]The HBC is built around Zimbabwe's natural and cultural resources to churn out job creators rather than job seekers. [*]Moyo made the announcement while speaking in the Senate. [*]Concerns that some schools were brushing aside Zimbabwe's history and indigenous languages drove the policy shift. [/LIST] Zimbabwe currently runs three separate curricula [LIST] [*]Government, council, and mission schools already follow the Heritage-Based Curriculum. [*]Private and trust schools under the Association of Trust Schools offer both the HBC and the Cambridge curriculum. [*]Harare International School runs the International Baccalaureate, a Geneva-based programme catering to ambassador and diplomat families. [*]Cambridge Assessment International Education administers the Cambridge curriculum used by some private schools. [/LIST] Schools wanting to be in Cambridge must apply to keep it [LIST] [*]Any school wishing to hang onto the Cambridge curriculum must file a formal application with the Secretary for Primary and Secondary Education. [*]That application needs to spell out exactly how Cambridge will run alongside the mandatory national syllabus. [*]No automatic exemptions are on the table, and the HBC takes top billing regardless. [*]International Baccalaureate schools like Harare International School fall under the same incoming legal framework. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
