There is little flexibility for a working person to enhance his learning required for career advancement. Whereas, E-learning mode offers an alternative for those who cannot attend classroom training.

E-learning is essentially imparting education through a computer and network-enabled digital technologies which include among other things, internet, intranet, computer, satellite TV, CDROM, audio and video resources.Whatever may be the definition of e-learning, it is currently changing the way schools and colleges teach and the students learn

Linnet Mviyo a parent said: “Things are bad in Zimbabwe, it’s even difficult to get money from banks and its possible to spend a day without getting a dollar but I think I can sacrifice $2 for my grade 3 daughter every month. Ruzivo is the way to go”
