Education is a basic human right. Education is important in the socio-economic development of not only citizens of a nation, but for the development of nations as well. The education sector in Zimbabwe has gone through some changes since the attainment of Independence in 1980. Currently, the sector is faced with numerous challenges such as high costs of tuition fees, shortages of teaching materials such as books as well as a general decline in the standards of education.

Also included in the discussion are the current problems affecting tertiary education in the country.
