Over the past 10 years the government has vigorously engaged in indigenisation programmes, from the discredited land reform progarmme to the current grab asset programme. The government has proposed to include privately-owned schools to the programme , which they have justified under the indigenisation law.With every educational institution at the mercy of the governmnt it will advently plummet the education system to the ground. The government has shown little or no condsideration for the civil servants particulalry teachers who are constantly at the governments throat over their peanut wages. This then confirms the poor perfomance statndards by many of the government schools which are constantly docked by  the civil strikes and therefore children have to go for weeks without teachers.

The government is not committed in the educational sector and the poor perfoming government schools have plummeted to the ground due to the governments lack of committment. In the fight to promote black sovereignity, it has however become a much more aggressive approach, that is instead not benefiting the ordinary Zimbabwe whose income is below the datum line, it will not benefit the rural child without a book or classroom. The indigenisation programme is instead discriminating it's own indigenous people. Instead the government should concentrate on improving their own government schools before they can pull other institutions to their household. How will they manage when they cannot even manage at present?
