Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 44755, member: 636"] Teachers at the University of Zimbabwe have slammed their bosses for making students take tests without proper lessons. The Association of University Teachers says the school forces students to learn entire courses with just one or two days of teaching. They call this unfair and bad for learning. The teachers blame school leaders for not caring about student success. They say the administration has failed students badly. Many departments cannot find good part-time teachers to help with classes. Students end up with very little real instruction before major exams. The teachers union says this destroys the quality of education. School bosses still push ahead with testing despite these serious problems. This makes both students and teachers very angry about the situation. Students have started fighting back against these unfair exam rules. They want the school to delay all tests until they get proper teaching first. The teachers union fully backs these student protests and calls them brave. They say students refuse to accept poor education and demand better treatment. The union thinks students are right to stand up for themselves. The teachers group points fingers directly at Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Mapfumo for these failures. They say he refuses to listen to good advice from others. The union wants school leaders to admit their mistakes and fix the problems. They demand that administrators start caring more about students and teachers. The union believes the school must restore trust and improve education quality fast. [/QUOTE]
