Zimbabwe's education ministry is going full scorched earth on schools that keep charging parents registration cash before kids even get accepted for Grade One and Form One spots. Director Taungana Ndoro said any public institution demanding payments between a hundred and two hundred bucks for enrollment is breaking the law, and disciplinary action is coming. Parents like Rudo Maphosa from Emganwini are getting squeezed with hidden charges disguised as application fees, and families are scared to complain because they think their kids will get blacklisted.
The government is basically telling schools to knock it off because legitimate development levies can only happen after students get admitted through proper committee approval from parents. Officials are pushing the digital application platform to keep things fair and merit-based instead of letting schools run a pay-to-play scheme while the country deals with a shortage of about two thousand schools nationwide.
