Extract

It is only a year and a half since the landslide victory of Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) movement heralded the liberation of Zimbabwe from the control of the rebel minority Smith regime and its latter-day puppet Bishop Muzorewa. Hence, it is as yet very early in the life of a country reborn to expect a coherent picture of their national policies or their particular plans for education, especially when we find ourselves at such a distance from these events.
