Jonathan Moyo bemoans education neglect

Jonathan Moyo Higher and Tertiary Education minister yesterday admitted that the education sector was underfunded by the government despite its pivotal role in developing the country's human capital base.

Speaking at the official opening of the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU)'s Bulawayo regional centre yesterday, Moyo said the neglect was not in the best interest of the country.

Moyo said without developing human capital, it was would be difficult to achieve Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZimAsset) goals such as infrastructural development and poverty eradication, among other target.
