No school in Zimbabwe after govt suspends 90% teachers amid strike

A strike by Zimbabwean teachers that has seriously affected learning entered a second week on Monday, with no resolution in sight after the government suspended 135,000, or 90 per cent, teachers for failing to report for work, according to an AFP report. 

Many teachers did not report for work when schools opened for the first term of the new year last week, saying they could no longer afford the commute from their home to the classroom.
