Zimbabwe State University teachers need better pay. University of Zimbabwe staff went on strike because their wages had fallen by 87 percent since 2018. Junior teachers once earned $2,500 monthly but receive just $300 today. Teachers cannot afford homes, food, healthcare, or school fees for their children. The rest comes as local currency worth less than $200.
Teachers sent 27 letters asking for help over seven years. University leaders gave one negative answer. School officials bought themselves luxury cars instead of helping teachers. The education ministry did nothing about this problem. These teachers can no longer teach well or research topics that could help Zimbabwe grow.
This hurts the whole nation. Countries develop through their brain power. Universities create valuable ideas that improve life. America fights with China over who creates these ideas, not over tariffs. Schools need strong teachers who earn decent pay. Zimbabwe must fix this crisis fast. Teachers deserve respect for their work teaching young people.
