Relief for ZOU graduates

ZOU Vice Chancellor Professor Primrose Kurasha has said ay All Zimbabwe Open University graduates who were affected by the suspension of the Diploma in (Primary) Education are now employed after the ban was lifted last month.

Government banned the diploma in 2011 after the Civil Service Commission refused to recognise the qualification as valid for employment.

The diploma also failed to meet the requirements of the Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education (ZIMCHE).

ZIMCHE is a Government quality assurance agency responsible for registering and accrediting institutions of higher learning.

Several teachers who had attained the diploma were left jobless.
