Parents have been making a last minute rush in preparation for the opening of schools for the 2nd term.
Retail outlets in the Harare central business district and other shopping centres were a hive of activity as parents made a last minute rush to buy school children's items in preparation for the 2nd term which begins this Tuesday.
Parents and guardians said school fees, uniforms and stationery are generally affordable but it is proving difficult to get enough disposable income.
Some parents highlighted that school authorities should not turn away pupils for non-payment of school fees considering the tough economic environment.
Against all odds, parents have rushed around sourcing funds to send their children back to school with the hope of securing a brighter future upon completion.
