The ECOZI Complementary Report on the Right to Education in Zimbabwe presents a bold and evidence-based analysis of how Zimbabwe is progressing towards meeting its commitments under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The report dives deep into critical issues affecting learners from high dropout rates among girls, poor quality teaching, and limited Early Childhood Development (ECD) infrastructure, to sexual abuse in schools, political interference, and the digital divide. It also unpacks how climate change is disrupting education and how children with disabilities remain marginalized.
