Teachers Will Not Be Silent.
ARTUZ is a movement of teachers organising across rural and urban Zimbabwe to defend dignity, fight for fair wages, and protect the future of public education.
Zimbabwe’s Teachers Are Being Pushed to the Edge
This situation is not normal.
And it will not change unless teachers organise.
ARTUZ exists to turn frustration into collective power.
When Teachers Organise, Things Change
Thousands of organised teachers cannot.
Our Core Battles
Living Wages for Teachers
Teachers cannot deliver quality education while trapped in poverty. ARTUZ is fighting for salaries that reflect the dignity and responsibility of the profession.
Defending Labour Rights
Building Teacher Leadership
Education Justice
This Movement Needs You
ARTUZ is growing across Zimbabwe because teachers know silence will not solve this crisis. Whether you teach in a rural school or an urban classroom, your voice matters. Anyone who believes in defending teachers and protecting education can be part of this movement.
