The Auditor-General Mildred Chiri has revealed that most of the people employed as bursars at Harare City Council owned schools are under qualified. According to her 2016 report, some of the bursars do not even have five ordinary level passes and some had as little as one ordinary level pass.
Part of her report reads:
An inspection of primary school bursars’ personal files revealed that some bursars’ personal files had no evidence of adequate qualifications.
I was not able to verify whether the bursars are adequately qualified for their positions since there was no evidence of academic qualifications in their personal files.
The bursar at Westlea Primary school is reported to possess only two Ordinary level passes while the one at Glen View 9 had a single Ordinary level pass in English.
