‘ Grade 7 Curriculum To Now Include Farming To Resolve Zimbabwe’s Agriculture Crisis’- Lazarus Dokora
“In this context education is challenged to bridge that gap. Pursuant to that goal, my ministry has arranged to have a trial Grade Seven examination in agriculture this year. This is meant to make both teachers and learners take account of agriculture seriously,” he said.
“Agricultural skills in crop farming and animal husbandry, for example, are some exit skills that the new curriculum will impart to the learners.” He said the new curriculum enabled school learners to gain practical skills which they could use to start businesses.
“The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education recognises the need for practical skills training in our youths and that’s why a new curriculum has been developed. The new curriculum enables school learners to gain practical skills which they can use to start their businesses upon completing their basic education,” he said.
The new curriculum would be implemented next year. Melody Mashaire source-chronicle
