It is a shame that newspapers are making a mockery of themselves if you do not live in Bulawayo and read the chronicle you would think that Bulawayo is the promised land The newspaper sees only good and good and only government good yet it fails to take note that for the so called STEM it is making so much noise about, it is only for the people in Manicaland Mashonaland and Harare plus those in Mashonaland and Mashonaland East Central and Central again
can answers to this be availed

1. How will students in Mat North benefit from this stem? nonsense when they are not so many schools that offer sciences, you will say to me there is St James John Talach etc. these schools are not attended by people from those regions it is Bulawayo parents who can afford to send their children to boarding there, take not these are not government Schools

2. is Marondera a province maybe I did not pass my ordinary levels and I do not know about it. Wrong i passed them explain then how it is that Marondera not a province has a Zimdef office yet it is only 40 km away from Harare where there is a Zimdef office yet is Beitbridge 400+ ks away Vic Falls 400+ ks away tsholotsho 150+ ks away Binga 430+ks away Nkayi 100 + ks away

3. The economy is already strained the son or daughter of a politician or business man who can afford still has a chance to compete with the offspring of farmers retrenched workers bonus less civil servants and even the son of a disabled war veteran what are we doing

4. we are saying lets promote sciences education i agree very correct and noble. Why then are we underpaying our doctors engineers and all the scientist agricultural scientists graduates are languishing in poverty and unemployment where will these stemitised kids go to WE SHALL EXPORT THEM, i am ashamed that we have become inhuman if we start to view our children as animals and horses that we rear to export is that not a brain drain??

5. where will the money to pay for their education come from a raise in tax ??? maybe, or donors maybe??? or it will rain from the sky maybe this however I am sure the money that was deducted from your payslip in one form or another or from the toll gate will find its way there but then who am I to question how the money is used. however what i can question is the wisdom of giving out money when none is coming in
do not get me wrong the program is good however it has issues such as above. it is a program ahead of its time it should be shelved until such a time when Zim has learnt a few lessons on economics and law and as well as how to attract and retain Direct Foreign Investment believe it or not China looked west for economic growth its laws have suffered a lot of modification to accommodate the west For the Naive minds that need proof of the obvious is NIKE a Chinese brand hell no!!! if you think of most of the nike outfits you have seen they are made in china think about this is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories and services. The company is headquartered near Beaverton, Oregon, in the Portland metropolitan area. It is one of the world's largest suppliers of athletic shoes and apparel and a major manufacturer of sports equipment, with revenue in excess of US$24.1 billion china looked west and east this is one of the few items to note
I respectfully submit that yes it is a good idea yes we are happy about it, yes the kids will learn yes we shall pay taxes for that yes the poor will not get preference, yes the money is there Im kidding it is not there is no money this is a project way beyond its time. if this was done when we had a shortage of science educated people and we had employed all of them i would say a double yes but at the moment we would rather think of how to accommodate those recently graduated, then stem later
just wondering why the newspaper did not see it fit to note that mat south mart north and Bulawayo have to share one office which is at times 400+ kilometers away when Harare and Marondera offices are only 40 ks away from each other or its just co incidence
