Educating Zimbabwe: illegal ‘home schools’ defy lockdown in townships

In Zimbabwe there's a poor time with education for children. Since March 2020 schools there were online due to pandemic, but people from poorer families don't have internet access. It caused almost 10% drop in children passing their exams. To help, some teachers opened their own classrooms. The government is very against it, even charging fees, saying it exposes people to Covid. I think that while the Coronavirus is serious and not to be joked with, online school in Zimbabwe was a bad choice. Everyone should be able to get education, and it's not fair some children there don't because of poverty. If the country can't ensure people have internet access to attend school, then they should find other ways to teach them. There are still plenty of ways to be safe with more people in one place. I'm glad that there are people who care about others education and chose to teach in person despite everything. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/18/educating-zimbabwe-home-schools-defy-lockdown-in-townships
