Educators Union urges Zimbabwe to absorb skilled teachers fleeing xenophobia

The Educators Union of Zimbabwe called on the government to implement a policy framework to re-employ Zimbabwean teachers fleeing xenophobic attacks abroad. The union's demand highlights a potential brain gain opportunity for the domestic education sector, which has been hollowed out by years of skilled emigration. The push forces a strategic choice on the state: facilitate the return of experienced educators or risk losing their skills permanently to other regional markets.
