Senator seeks to block govt closing School Development Committees, says its Zanu-PF ploy to steal money

Bulawayo Metropolitan Senator Dorothy Khumalo (MDC) is seeking to block the government’s move to close School Development Committees and to transfer all the funds to the government controlled School Services Fund. Khumalo said the move would collapse the education system as the Zanu-PF led government would raid the account to finance the 2018 elections.

Said Khumalo:

There is a feeling that the ministry wants to raid these SSF funds for political expediency, especially as we go to the 2018 elections, and the pronouncement by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education that the monies can be channelled to build new schools in rural constituencies adds weight to this thinking.

We are worried that the latest directive will have unintended consequences, which may negatively affect the quality of education at all government schools.
