Schools’ accountant project bears fruit

 

In an effort to make pupils aware of the importance of accounting at schools and the opportunities in the field, teachers in the Dzindi Circuit came up with the idea of an accounting day on the circuit.

Started last year, the day is already showing yields as accounting results in the circuit improved tremendously in the past year. Five schools in the circuit, Khwevha, Ligege, Makakavhale, Ndaedzo and Shayandima Secondary School, recently took part in the day full of activities.
One of the coordinators of the day, Ms Humbulani Mdau, said the idea came last year after it  was realized that some days were given academic importance each year, such as the science expos and other days. “We in the commercial sections did not have special days to raise awareness about commercial subjects. The sciences are celebrated each year and many are excelling now, but little is done to encourage pupils to take commercial subjects, even though they are very important as they involve the economy of the country,” she said.

“We started targeting Grade 12s, but we have shifted the focus to the lower grades as they are the foundation of the higher grades and institutions of higher learning,” she said.

Another organiser, Mr Albert Mususumeli, said that, apart from benefiting the pupils, the project also served as a platform for educators to forge unity and for them to share experiences. “We might be educators, but we do not have the same experience and this gives us time to share our experiences. At the end of the day, the pupil is the winner and we also benefit a lot.”
