Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) on June 13, 2024 commissioned Better Schools Programme in Zimbabwe centre (BSPZ) at Chivi Growth Point which is the district education headquarters.
Speaking at the commissioning, MoPSE Permanent Secretary Moses Mhike said the centre will enhance quality of education in the district.
“This initiative marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality of education in Chivi District. It represents an investment in the future of our children, our community and the nation.
“The BSPZ will assist in the provision, promotion and development of inclusive quality and relevant education in primary and secondary schools and this event signifies a major step forward in our commitment to providing quality education for all,” said Mhike.
Mhike said the centre is a demonstration of the Ministry’s commitment to education provision and as well as a symbol of hope and is where the skills of learners are shaped.
“Chivi BSPZ centre is more than just a physical structure, it is a shining example, a symbol of hope and progress, which is also a demonstration of the Ministry’s commitment to education provision. This centre should be a place where minds are shaped, skills honoured and characters formed.
“Education is the cornerstone of progress and development in the society. This centre should serve as an anchor of progress and acceptance to move the Ministry’s full realisation of the intended education outcomes amongst our children.
“It will serve as a hub for novelty cooperation and support enabling our teachers, district personnel and school heads to work together more effectively to achieve the goals of the ministry. Education is not just a responsibility of schools and teachers but a collective endeavour that requires active participation from parents, community members and policymakers,” said Mhike.
The Permanent secretary also acknowledged the efforts of all those who contributed to the success of the programme and urged all stakeholders to join hands in supporting the BSPZ program.
“As we commission this centre we want to acknowledge the tireless efforts by the Chivi Rural District council in availing land upon which this structure stands and my deepest gratitude goes to all those who contributed to the realisation of this program, your collective efforts have been instrumental in bringing us to this momentous occasion.
“I urge all stakeholders to join hands in supporting this program and ensuring its sustainability for generations to come. As Ministry we are going to be equipping the centre with laptops, you have done your part and we will do our part,” said Mhike.
