Zimbabwe has so far shortlisted about 491 teachers who are undergoing further training and screening to be flown to Rwanda as demanded. Zimbabwe’s public service Ministry’s secretary, Simon Masanga said the teachers are being recruited in line with an agreement they signed with Rwanda

“The recruitment is being conducted under the auspices of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Zimbabwe and Rwanda on the exchange of skilled personnel between the two countries,” he said, adding that, the first group of teachers will take off immediately after the pre-departure training is done.

“The successful candidates are expected to travel to Rwanda after undergoing pre-departure training by a team of experts from Zimbabwe and the Embassy of Rwanda to ensure adequate orientation and requisite information is imparted to the Zimbabwean nationals before their deployment,” he added.

Mr Masanga also said teachers are being picked from specific fields. “We are recruiting competent education personnel to be employed in Rwanda on job positions under four categories: basic education, basic TVET (technical and vocational education and training), polytechnic, and universities.”
