EDUCATION

Lusaka District Commissioner, Ms. Rosa Zulu, has reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to investing in the education sector as a means of advancing national development through improved school infrastructure.

Speaking when she officially handed over a 1×4 classroom block constructed using the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) at Chazanga primary school today, Mrs. Zulu said education is the cornerstone of progress and development as it unlocks potential and paves the way for a brighter future.

Mrs. Zulu disclosed that the classroom block was constructed at a total cost of K1,685,942.24 using funds from the 2023 CDF allocation for Mandevu Constituency.

She highlighted that the new infrastructure is a vital step in addressing the needs of schools and ensuring that no child is left behind in the pursuit of quality education.

She further urged the recipients to safeguard the facility and maintain it well so that it continues to benefit future generations.

Meanwhile, Area Member of Parliament, Hon. Christopher Shakafuswa, described the newly constructed classroom block as a significant addition that will not only enhance the learning environment but also contribute to the overall aesthetics of the school.

He emphasized that every child deserves access to quality education regardless of their background or socio-economic status.

“Education is the great equalizer; it has the power to uplift the son of a gardener to the same level as the son of a minister,” he stated.

In her vote of thanks, a pupil from the school expressed gratitude to the Government for the new facility and assured that it would be well maintained and used for its intended purpose.

The classroom block has also been equipped with desks to provide students with good siting arrangement while attending class.
