How it works

How teacher swops work in Zimbabwe

A teacher swop is a mutual transfer: two teachers who each want to move to where the other teaches exchange postings. Swopmatch helps qualified Zimbabwean primary and secondary teachers find that compatible partner by province, district, level and subject. Here is exactly how it works.

  1. 01

    Register

    Sign up with your mobile number in under a minute. We verify your number by sending you a One Time Pin (OTP).

  2. 02

    Add your current posting

    Tell us your school, province, district, subject(s) and whether you teach at primary or secondary level.

  3. 03

    Add your transfer preferences

    List the provinces, districts, cities or towns you would like to transfer into.

  4. 04

    Swopmatch searches for compatible teachers

    We compare your posting and preferences against other teachers to find compatible two-way and three-way swops.

  5. 05

    Potential matches are identified

    You see teachers whose current placement matches your preferences — and whose preferences match your placement — and you can contact them directly.

  6. 06

    Follow the official transfer procedure

    You and your matched teacher then follow the applicable official transfer procedures with your schools and the responsible authorities.

Please note: Swopmatch (and Partzile) is a matching service only. We do not approve, authorise or process government teacher transfers. Any swop identified here must still be applied for and approved through the applicable official transfer procedures.
