Zimbabwe has about 135 000 public school teachers countrywide. Teachers’ unions and associations are engaging the government on salaries and work conditions. According to unions, inflation has eroded teachers’ earnings leaving them unable to afford basics. According to Zimbabwe Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT), a person needed a monthly income of Z$18,425 in June to afford only the basics. The average salary of a teacher is Z$28 000, in addition to US dollar allowances. Teachers demand US$540 or the local currency equivalent as base salary, pegging their salaries to 2018, before government dropped the 1:1 currency peg.
