Talk:List of schools in Zimbabwe

I propose to sort these by province, then city, not just by city. Kappa 04:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

What do we do re: recent name changes: the new names from Minister Chigwedere are the "current official names", but I am unaware of a school that has actually implemented the changes on stationery, name boards, notice, road signs etc? Babakathy 16:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If we list the school by the current official name and the school's article page has the official name too but we should also have a redirect link for the common name and if this is mentioned on the school's article page. The common name could follow the official name in brackets in this list. Mangwanani 19:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I am preparing a full list (below). But let us consider it carefully - the new names may be "current official", but they are hardly used at all, even by the heads... Babakathy 16:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
