Role of Independent Education

Independent education has a long and distinguished history in Zimbabwe and Independent education has played a significant part in the history of Zimbabwe. As we look to the future, the following points remain relevant.

  • There is a need for Independent schools as they relieve the burden of education to an extent from the government of the day

  • There is a demand for Independent schools, from Cabinet Ministers to cabinet makers, from Ministers of Religion to masters of commerce. People want the education that is offered in Independent schools, for the promise that they bring of the future. People want quality education that smaller classes and greater resources can provide. People want the holistic education that prepares the whole person. People want the values underpinning the Independent education. People want an international education.

  • There has been success in Independent schools, with pupils being highly respected and eagerly sought-after all around the world.

  • There has been a significant growth of Independent schools over the years.

  • There has been a significant growth of Independent schools over the years.

  • There is a place for Independent schools, working in partnership with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and many other sectors.

Independence is not about being on one’s own or going one’s own way, but it is about being free to choose one’s future (according to one’s position and means). It is about being different. Though there are sixty-five ATS schools, each one is different, offering a very wide range of different opportunities, facilities, ethos, curriculum, size and position. However, all offer a world-class education, with Zimbabwean pupils standing out on account of their all-round education, work ethic, acceptance of authority, commitment to respect, initiative and discipline. And while each ATS school is an independent school, they all recognise the value and importance of being part of a larger body.
