School opens with one teacher

A SCHOOL in Hwange, which failed to open for the third term due to a shortage of teachers, has opened after only one teacher reported for duty on Monday.

According to local media, the teacher is teaching the Grade Seven class only ahead of pupils' public examinations slated for next month.

Pupils from Grade One to Six have no teachers and parents have been urged to look for volunteers to teach their children.

Nengasha Primary School failed to open early this month when other schools opened after its teacher who doubles up as its headmistress did not turn up for work.

The teacher, identified only as Mrs Zhou, only started reporting for duty on Monday.
