Description

This collection focuses on the post-independence educational development in Zimbabwe. It shows how the ZANU PF regime has presided over the demise of education, and covers a wide range of topics such as violence against teachers, poor salaries, student activism, minority languages, and curriculum innovations. This volume argues that the regime has used education as a tool for repression. Curriculum innovations introduced and implemented in Zimbabwe have little to do with improving the performance of the learners, and more to do with stopping teachers from pushing the regime change agenda. Consequently, this has resulted in a nation in crisis, marked with high turnover, poor economy, and mass exodus of teachers and learners. The contributors to this volume make various suggestions which could recenter education towards addressing the experiences of the learners, as opposed to being used as a tool to push repression and thwart democracy.

We all thought and wished and hoped that the education system would be spared, somehow, by some miracle. But like everything else, it has not been spared! Regime and Education in Zimbabwe is a surgical examination of how the ZANU-PF regime in Zimbabwe has destroyed the once glorious education system and turned it into a tool of ideological indoctrination. This is a must-read for all those who care about the future of education in Zimbabwe and those who want some lessons on how NOT to run an education system.

Rodwell Makombe, North-West University
This book takes a bold stance to problematize the nexus of the regime and education in Zimbabwe. Firstly, it locates the problem of education in Zimbabwe from state perspective. Secondly, it unmutes the voices of learners and educators who have for years been subjected to marginalization. Thirdly, it suggests various solutions to redirect education as a tool for development rather than repression. This book is valuable for post-colonial and decolonial thinkers to understand the role of the regime in the ambivalent educational terrain.
