Education
The district boasts of a good number of primary and secondary schools run by churches and the rural district council. Literacy is among the highest in the country and the district is home to some of the best educated people in the country. Among the schools is St. Anthony's High School from which veteran educationists and historians Fabian Nhengeze and Stephen Davidson Zhara worked. St. Anthony's was the first school to offer Advanced level education in the district in 1985 followed by Rudhanda High School some years latter. Currently there are even more A-level schools including St. Joseph Tongoona, Panganai,Chimedza, Mutimwi, Mutonhori, Zaka High, St James High which serve Maraire, Majuru, Museki, Tovane primary schools. Though it seems there are now many schools, many children still travel great distances of up to 10 kilometres to nearest school.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“I envy neither the heart nor the head of any legislator who has been born to an inheritance of privileges, who has behind him ages of education, dominion, civilization, and Christianity, if he stands opposed to the passage of a national education bill, whose purpose is to secure education to the children of those who were born under the shadow of institutions which made it a crime to read.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
