Co-educational Schools In Zimbabwe
Mixed-sex education, also known as mixed-gender education, co-education, or coeducation (abbreviated to co-ed or coed), is a system of education where males and females are educated together. Whereas single-sex education was more common up to the 19th century, mixed-sex education has since become standard in many cultures, particularly in western countries. Single-sex education remains prevalent in many Muslim countries. The relative merits of both systems have been the subject of debate. The world's oldest co-educational school is thought to be Archbishop Tenison's Church of England High School, Croydon, established in 1714 in the United Kingdom, which admitted boys and girls from its opening onwards. This has always been a day school only.

Ozias Bvute is the managing director and chief executive of Zimbabwe Cricket. He replaced Vincent Hogg as chief executive in 2005. Hogg's departure came against the background of the player standoffs, with the senior and mostly white players taking the board to task over issues of administration. Joining the organization at a tumultuous time, Bvute's overriding mandate would be to integrate cricket into a truly national sport. He was Chairman of the Integration Task Force that was set up in 2001 to develop a comprehensive plan that ensures full and equitable nationwide integration of Zimbabwean cricket in the shortest possible time with the least possible reduction in individual and team performance. Many of the measures taken by the integration committee were misunderstood to be the introduction of a quota system and culminated in 15 players resigning from the national team saying that the selection process was unfair. Despite this disruption, under Bvute, Zimbabwe continued ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
