Form teachers self-regulatory body, says Dokora

Primary and Secondary Education minister Lazarus Dokora has called on teachers' unions to form an independent self-regulatory body that will enforce professional conduct.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Zimta Teachers' Association (Zimta)'s 34th annual conference in Harare yesterday, Dokora said the proposed body would be empowered to de-register wayward teachers.

Dokora said the situation where anyone who failed to secure a job in their field of study ended up being enrolled into the teaching fraternity should be stopped.
