Gender desk embarks on a research
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
July 06, 2010
The ZINASU Gender and
Human Rights Department has embarked on a research on the causes
of the decline of female participation in student activism. The
tertiary institutions' SRC elections and previous ZINASU congresses
have proved the reduction in the numbers of female students who
are willingly to be student activists.
The research
will enable the union to embark on strategies that will ensure the
increase in the numbers of females who will participate in student
activism in the future. The gender desk has come up with a two paged
questionnaire which shall be distributed in selected institutions.
The gender desk is working together with the Education and Research
Secretary Bestnos Kundishora.
Meanwhile students at
Masvingo Teachers' College who are on teaching practice are not
receiving their allowances as the Salary Services Bureau claims
to be paying for the students' fees despite the cadetship scheme
paying for their fees. ZINASU has a strong feeling that this is
not a genuine error but a sign of corruption.
The Sports
and Recreation Secretary Sharon Manjere is optimistic that the Zimbabwe
Tertiary Institutions' Sports Team will make the nation proud in
Botswana where CCUSA games are being held. Harare Polytechnic's
Volleyball team, Africa University's rugby team, University of Zimbabwe
soccer team and the National University of Science and Technology
basketball team amongst others are part of the national team.
The ZINASU
Masvingo provincial congress is going to be held on the 10th of
July 2010 this weekend where the students are expected to deliberate
on issues affecting them at institutions of higher learning. ZINASU
shall on this day launch the Graduate Alive Campaign with the national
leadership going for voluntary HIV/AIDS testing.
