Government will soon come up with maximum schools enrollment limit after it emerged that some educational institutions surpass 3 000 pupils.

This has in turn affected learning as it increases the teacher-pupil ratio to unacceptable levels.

Primary and Secondary Education Minister, Lazarus Dokora, made the remarks as he addressed school heads, provincial and district officials during a curriculum review meeting in Harare on Monday.

Dr Dokora said historically, there was an education policy that barred schools from setting maximum numbers for enrolment, which was a measure that had been adopted to curb racial discrimination.

He said, however, time had come to adopt new measures for enrollment.

The congestion of schools has been resulting in lack of adequate resources for learning like textbooks and lack of requisite training and attention, as the teacher will be overwhelmed by a lot of work therefore leading to poor performance of the students.
