University of Zimbabwe stopped paying professors who refuse to teach classes for almost two months. Teachers want their salaries raised from 230 dollars to 2,250 dollars per month. The lecturers walked out during April and demand money they earned before 2018. Students cannot take exams or receive help with research projects because classes remain empty. University leaders hired temporary teachers but union officials say these replacements lack proper training.
Association spokesman Obvious Vengeyi said the university tries to force professors back to work through financial pressure. Most striking teachers will continue their protest despite missing paychecks from the administration. The academic calendar faces serious delays as the conflict enters its second month without resolution. Six students faced arrest after demanding their regular professors return to campus immediately. Government officials must find solutions before the entire school year becomes worthless for thousands of students.
