Zimbabwe suspends over 100 thousand teachers

At least 135 000 public school teachers will be affected by the Zimbabwean government’s decision to suspend them without pay for going on strike. News24 reports that in a statement, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Evelyn Ndlovu said striking teachers would be suspended for three months without pay. During the three months, investigations into what the minister called “misconduct” from the striking teachers would be undertaken and those found guilty would face “appropriate action.”
