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:
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
—Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
“Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“Toward education marriage nervous breakdown, operation, teaching
school, and learning to be mad, in a dream—what is this
life?”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
