Abstract
The attraction and retention of teachers in Zimbabwe is a problem not only unique
to Zimbabwean schools, but all over the world. The problem is more pronounced
in rural areas where resources are scarce, hence the tendency to repel teachers.
Although the problem of teacher turnover is real, there are teachers who have
remained in the profession for many years. The aim of the study is to find the
factors that have influenced teachers to remain in teaching in rural Zimbabwe.
Participants (n = 6) in the study were all practicing as teachers, having taught in the
rural areas for at least ten years. Data was collected through interviews which were
audio-taped and transcribed. The results from this basic interpretive qualitative
study showed that teachers remained in the profession because of need to support
their families, job security, unmarketable, support from colleagues and
administration, and self-sacrifice leadership by principals.
