School departers may be described as those scholars who join the labor market after finishing a specific rhythm of instruction ( Thungu et al 2012:293 ) . In recent old ages. there has been a turning figure of school departers giving the authorities a spot of concern in footings of employment creative activity. The instruction system releases three groups of school departers: primary school departers

secondary school departers
third school departers
The primary school departers present the most hard job as they are immature and inexperient and hence unemployable in formal administrations. They are nevertheless abused by those employers who do non desire to pay high rewards and hence prosecute these immature occupation huntsmans. 3. 1 The Zimbabwean Situation

In Zimbabwe. primary school departers are increasing by the twenty-four hours as the figure of those who fail to finish primary degree continues to lift. Harmonizing to the Zimbabwe national Strategic Plan ( 2010 ) . the completion rate for primary degree has dropped to 82. 4 % which 17. 6 % become school departers and enter the occupation market. The secondary school state of affairs is a spot different in that the school departers at this degree have some signifier of accomplishments in proficient topics that they do like woodwork. metalwork. manner and cloths and therefore can be absorbed into industry or the signifier their ain place based industries. However. these school departers need to hold third instruction where their accomplishment will be further developed to accommodate the demands of industry. The third instruction departers have been equipped for employment nevertheless today there is small employment to absorb them all. This has presented the Zimbabwean Government with a challenge as most university alumnus roam the streets without employment.

Start undertakings like nutrition gardens that aim to help the septic with nutritionary veggies. Have the community taking bends to H2O the garden. Organise play nines that encourage the community to take attention of the septic and to deter favoritism of those infected. organize a counsel and reding nine that helps affected and infected kids introduce Hiv and Aids instruction at your school to educate society of the dangers posed by the pandemic 5. 0 Child Headed Families

Corruptness has become the individual biggest enemy in our society today as it has caused the erosion of our self-respect and the will to make our occupations professionally. In Zimbabwe. corruptness has seen small development as people seek to roll up wealth by hook and criminal at the disbursal of the state at big ( nehanda Radio 2014 ) . Corruptness is found in many sectors of society and comes in assorted signifiers for case: One is seeking a topographic point for a kid at a peculiar school and they are told there are no more topographic points. but if they offer money so the topographic point becomes available. Staffing officers intentionally overstaff certain schools in order to victimize certain instructors who will so be ordered to reassign to remote schools. Those closely connected to functionaries frequently get favorable intervention. They get first penchant when it comes to recruitment. deployment and transportations. When 1 goes to use for a passport. they have to pay for the service to be done faster.

An investor comes and wants to register a company they are told the procedure takes months but if they pay it so takes yearss. One goes for an interview which in most instances is merely a formality as one manager has already filled the station with a relation. A batch of unroadworthy vehicles roam our roads with fitness certifications from the vehicle review section. This puts the lives of Zimbabweans in unsafe vehicles which in most cases get involved in accidents thereby robbing the state of its intellectuals. On our roads. roadworthy vehicles pass constabulary barriers every twenty-four hours because they belong to large ‘shefs’ in authorities or because the constabulary officers have been given some money. This at the terminal of the twenty-four hours is seting the lives of guiltless citizens in danger. 6. 1 Effectss of Corruption on society

stratification

Society has tended to sort its members chiefly along wealth line for case in Zimbabwe suburbs are inhabited based on how much money one has e. g. The wealthiest Zimbabweans now stay in Borrowdale creek. the grange and chisipite. Low income earners stay in the high denseness suburbs.

Stratification along educational has of late become prevalent were professors would socialize in a peculiar nine and rank is by virtuousness of being a professor or a physician or a attorney. However stratification along instruction lines is non really prevailing as being educated in Zimbabwe does non interpret to being rich so professors could be high up in the educational ladder. but lower on the wealth ladder intending they can remain in medium denseness suburbs or even high denseness suburbs. 7. 2 Stratification in schools

Stratification has cascaded from parents to kids as those whose parents afford the extortionate fees in some schools view those in less expensive schools as inferior to them. Besides. in those expensive schools. kids classify themselves harmonizing to the autos that that their parents own. These expensive schools have besides tended to play elect athleticss like rugger. cricket and hockey and would instead play against each other than play the inferior schools. these categories have created a them and us syndrome and this leads to back uping one of us regardless of whether incorrect or right Of late stratification had besides hit the instruction fraternity because of the incentive issue. Those learning in elect schools would acquire more inducements as compared to those in high denseness schools and rural schools thereby making a category between the instructors. 7. 2. 1 Positive effects of stratification in schools

Wikipedia defines drug maltreatment as a patterned usage of a substance ( drug ) in which the user consumes the substance in sums or with methods which are harmful to themselves or others. Drug maltreatment is non limited to school departers. but is besides prevailing among school kids.
