The Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe went on strike on June 22 to demand that government raise their salaries from the current $200 a month to $500 a month.
Government late on Friday offered teachers an average increase of $34, said union leader Takavafira Zhou.
“The award by government of an average of $34 falls far short of our expectations,” he said.
“We will go back and re-strategise and get ready to fight another day. There are a number of issues that should be addressed, including the issues of transport and housing allowances,” he said, adding that teachers would return to the classroom on Monday.
