From February 2009 upon installment of the inclusive government, through the swearing in of the Prime Minister and the cabinet from the three political parties, several changes have taken place in the education sector. Efforts have been made to make education Zimbabwe's pride once again after several years of disinvestment and decline. These changes include the revision of the policy framework that governs the education sector, the rehiring of teachers and the introduction of the dollarised fees.

As stakeholders in this sector, the Students Solidarity trust [SST], through its policy Research and Analysis Program, sees an opportunity to engage the policy debate and discussion with a view to offering a qualitative input into the new policy framework that government is working on for the education sector.

The SST will run a series of analyses on aspects of policy with a view to engaging policy makers and also contribute to the debate on this issue.

The first in this series is an analysis on Vice Chancellors' powers and the impact they have had on the students' movement. It is our fervent hope that this discussion will provide impetus to the notion of reforming institutions, particularly tertiary institutions.
