What happened in Action Week 2008?
The Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association (ZIMTA) expressed its regret that the political instability made it impossible to celebrate Action Week as planned.

The celebrations scheduled for March were initially deferred to May but in light of the continuing insecurity were further postponed to September 2008.

The commitment of ZIMTA to Education for All continues despite difficult circumstance. 

Education International joins ZIMTA in condemning the murder and intimidation of teachers and the concomitant disruption to education.

What happened in Action Week 2007?

Across the country children, teachers and civil society organizations marched side by side with government officials. The processions were entertained and
motivated by the police military band and local choirs.

More than 1,500 children joined each event; many had made their own posters that had their messages for the officials and teachers, such as ‘Take Our Education to Greater Heights’, ‘Stop Child Labour’, and ‘Mend the Broken Chain’.

At the end of the procession the banners and messages were handed over to the Members of Parliament and Education Directorate.
