DECENTRALIZE AND DE-SHONALIZE STEM - MP
Published: 2016 February 19 14:06:11 (5098 Views)
Matabeleland South proportional representation House of Assembly Member of Parliament Hon. Priscilla Misihairambwi - Mushonga has challenged the Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education to decentralize STEM registration to the districts and to put the STEM advert in other languages not only Shona.
Contributing in Parliament on the 18th of February 2016, Hon. Misihairambwi - Mushonga, who has been synonymous with being vocal and outspoken on Matabeleland issues, pleaded with Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education Professor Jonathan Moyo saying:
"I did talk yesterday about the registration of the children and we were told that they have to register at one place for both provinces, that is Matabeleland North and Matabeleland South. My request and plea is that, may you please decentralise and put these registration offices in all the districts so that when you are putting your next advertisement, put the provincial offices physical addresses so that people find it easy to register. Unfortunately at the moment, everybody has to fork out some transport fees to go to Bulawayo for registration. Therefore, please decentralise."
Misihairambwi - Mushonga further queried why the STEM advert is put in Shona only and called for it to be put in other languages.
"In your advertisement Minister, you spoke in Shona and this is perplexing because we think when you are putting an advertisement across, you should put in both languages instead of just saying “ngayiende” because people do not understand what the advertisement is saying. So next time Minister, may you please put both languages in your adverts," she said.
The MP's sentiments came a day after Campaigners for Devolution engaged some MPs from Matabeleland, including Hon. Misihairambwi - Mushonga, requesting that they ask the Minister why Matabeleland North and South students should register only in Buawayo when students in other 7 provinces of Zimbabwe (Midlands and Mashonaland) register in their respective provinces.
