BUILDING A GIANT EDUCATION NATION ..People of Zimbabwe, my heart is burdened when I hear many of you tell me that you can no longer afford to send your children to school. The latest statistics show a shockingly high number of 49 555 school dropouts in 2024. Our education needs urgent attention. It’s such a pain point. Despite allocating 17,7% of the national budget to education in 2024-25 budget, funding remains below the 20% benchmark agreed upon under the Dakar Framework for Action. We will build a great education nation. A time is coming when education will no longer be only for those who can pay for it. A time is coming when Zimbabwe will be renowned as an education nation, we will educate the world. A time is coming when our children from all backgrounds, and every corner of Zimbabwe will be filled with hope again. A time is coming when our young people will dream dreams and be empowered to live out those dreams in their lifetimes. Education, and not corruption, will produce admirable and honourable role models worth emulating #timeiscoming #thenewplan #imaginationmonday
