MASHONALAND East Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Advocate Itayi Ndudzo has commended Murehwa Rural District Council (RDC) for constructing a textile technology design block at Hokodzi Secondary School saying the initiative is in sync with the tenets of Education 5.0.
Education 5.0 is a heritage-based educational philosophy which focuses on the production of goods and services, transforming education institutions into innovation hubs where solutions to various problems are found.
Advocate Ndudzo officially commissioned the Hokodzi Secondary School Textile Technology Design block recently, where he also applauded the community for their participation during the construction phase.
“We used to have an education which focused on theories. However, research has shown that after school, recipients of that education system remained idle, hence the introduction of Education 5.0 which is primarily a heritage-based education curriculum,” he said.
“This type of education is important as it focuses on finding solutions to our problems. As you are aware, there are three needs of a human being, which are shelter, food and clothing. If one focuses on providing these three needs, one is guaranteed of a better livelihood.
“So I want to call on learners from this school to utilise this block and equip themselves with critical skills that will help them once they leave school.”
Murehwa West Member of Parliament Cde Farai Jere has provided all the sewing machines used by learners at the school.
Adv Ndudzo thanked Cde Jere for the gesture. Besides the just-commissioned textile technology design block, another block for Food and Nutrition is being built at the school, in a major boost of Education 5.0 implementation.
Adv Ndudzo said Heritage Based Education is key in the attainment of Vision 2030.
“By 2030, Zimbabwe should be an upper middle-income society, being led by President Mnangagwa and Education 5.0 plays a critical role in the attainment of that vision.
Soon after officially commissioning the block, Minister Ndudzo interacted with learners who are already studying the textile technology design at the school, and encouraged them to utilise their time at school productively.
