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.

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.
