Museum–School Partnership: Synergizing Paradigmatic Engagements

image of Museum–School Partnership: Synergizing Paradigmatic Engagements

There is growing interest in collaborative engagement between museums and schools in Zimbabwe. The introduction of the Competency Based Curriculum in 2015 enhanced the uptake of museum-school partnerships as part of the pedagogical approaches, as the curriculum puts emphasis on heritage-based education. Despite the notable increase in collaboration there are impediments to this initiative which include resource limitations, curriculum misalignment and cultural factors. This chapter proffers pedagogical strategies that can be implemented in a bid to promote the synergy between museums and schools, through demystifying the role of museums in education.
