Find the content/syllabi related to the area you are teaching thus making education important/relevant to your situation. Find content which is relevant to the current situation by making teaching practical, producing entrepreneurs who will go out and set businesses of their own so that they can be self-reliant and self -employed. Ensure that children get all the necessary materials/resources needed in their schools. Relax requirements for the disadvantaged children giving them time to pay their fees. Distinguish between the functionalists and the marxists views on social stratification and show the impact of social stratification on the learners. Compare and contrast the views of the functionalists and the marxists on the role of education with relevant examples to show how each of them applies to zimbabweans. They both look at the society as a whole and are referred to as macro-perspectives. They tend to see human behaviour as shaped by the system.
