Zimbabwe MP says give condoms to primary school pupils as 4 500 fail to write exams after getting pregnant or marrying

The current circumstances demonstrate clearly from the evidence that the national building levy is long overdue. It is that levy which I will come back to this august House to seek concurrence in 2017 so that we can build more boarding schools and more day schools for our people.

I want to thank the dedicated team at the Ministry (ZIMSEC/MOPSE) that has made it possible to produce the software and on line solution that will save thousands upon thousands of dollars in travel and fuel expenses that parents incur chasing Form 1 places that are not even there. The school heads who have remained steadfast in the face of temptation are very much appreciated as well. The teachers are sincerely thanked for producing these results alongside the parents with their part payments, support to schools, etcetera. I thank you Hon. Members.

Ed: what is your take, should the pupils be given condoms or not?
