Abstract
This paper critically looks at conditions of service for teachers and points out areas that need improvement. It shall be maintained that sending teachers to schools that have no accommodation for teachers gives the wrong impression that teaching is not important. The paper also looks at whether or not teaching is regarded as a profession, like other professions we find in health and Law. An attempt will be made to evaluate the application, in Zimbabwe, of the recommendations concerning the status of Teaching Personnel, as outlined in the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO): (ILO UNESCO: 1966 and 1997).
