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.
