1/25 #Zimbabwe education policy as experienced by a village boy in post independent Zimbabwe (1982 – 1992) a thread 🧵 2/25 The success of the famed #Zimbabwe education system post 1980 hinged on sound policies as well as massive support by communities, at least this was the case with #Zongoro my village (see Kanyongo, 2005:66)

I started attachment at The Herald in September 2000 after joining Harare Poly in May 1999. I had gone 4 terms learning to gather, write and process news I will always remember the confusion that engulfed me as what we had been taught at college was different from what was needed The college stuff, we were told, was only a foundation.
The first thing I was asked was the story I was working on. I had been in my rural home #Zongoro Village and had no idea where I could get a story. The news editor even asked if I knew what a story is. @CocoinZim
