Schools in Zimbabwe will now accept livestock such as goats or sheep as payment from parents who cannot afford
their fees.
Lazarus Dokora, the country's education Minister told the Press that
schools will have to show flexibility when it comes to demanding tuition
fees from parents, and that they should accept not only livestock, but
also services and skills.
"Parents
of the concerned children can pay the fees using livestock. That is
mostly for rural areas, but parents in towns and cities can pay through
other means; for instance, doing certain work for the school."
