1/ This is an angry statement from an insecure PS of the @MoPSEZim.
In the absence of an academic calendar, ATS-affiliated private schools conducted private lessons using online learning since Jan.
The PS didnt acknowledge & appreciate that.

2/ How do organised private lessons affect the PS’ authority over the private schools?
How does conducting private lessons using e-learning & allowing the private schools to have a temporary calendar for 2021 affect the education system?
Who is disadvantaged?

3/ Online private lessons can be organised between:
1. a teacher with a learner,
2. a teacher with a group of learners,
3. a school for the teachers, or
4. an association or grouping of schools for their teachers to conduct the lessons.
To whose advantage is this? Learners!

4/ Assuming that the PS is concerned that the private lessons give advantage to the learners in private schools over those in public & mission schools, isn’t it the same with the infrastructure & resources that private schools already have?
5/ This is why many calls have been made that the ministry focus on macro issues regarding its interventions not waste time with micro matters.
Holding private lessons is always something that will be there.
The PS shouldn’t feel challenged.

6/ Parents and guardians of ATS-affiliated private schools have been working & cooperating with the school administrators & teachers to make the learning process successful.
Learners are writing end of term exams right now.

7/ Public power should be used for the removal of recognisable disadvantages & the creation of empowering opportunities for general conditions.
Lack of calibration, restraint & measurement causes arbitrary, indiscriminate & random use of public power.

8/ On 5 March 2021, one of the ATS-affiliated private schools sent the attached letter to parents and guardians.
How could the PS respond angrily to such a gentle request?
How could the angry PS be so oblivious & unbothered to the online learning since January?
