Zimbabwe: Ethno-based writers’ scheme seeks Zimbabwean ethos

Higher and Tertiary Education Minister Herbert Murerwa announced recently that the government had embarked on an Ethno-based Writers’ Scheme that would, ideally, facilitate the development of education curricula in the country. Under the scheme, both lecturers and students at tertiary level would contribute in the writing of literature relevant to Zimbabwe’s political, economic and cultural realities. Murerwa said that the project was ostensibly aimed at promoting the production of learning materials.
