Government says it
will continue to work with its strategic partners in its quest to
achieve national development goals and the vision 2030.
Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry Christopher
Yaluma says government in collaboration with its
stakeholders has therefore prioritized the enhancement of
education as a pillar of development.
He said this during the ground-breaking ceremony for the
construction of secondary school by Promoting Equality in
African Schools (PEAS) in Mungwi district.
Mr Yaluma, who is also Malole Constituency Member of
Parliament, praised PEAS Zambia for sharing government’s
vision of increasing education opportunities for girls
especially in rural areas.
And a representative from PEAS Zambia, Dirk Phiri said his
organization will continue to supplement government’s
efforts in the provision of quality secondary school
education.
Mr Phiri said the construction of the new school in Mungwi
will be carried out by Empire Contractors and is expected to
be completed within four months.
He said the school is scheduled to open in January 2019.
In its Vision 2030, government hopes to transform the
country into a prosperous middle income nation and to
create a new Zambia which is a “strong and dynamic middle-
income industrial nation that provides opportunities for
improving the well-being of all, embodying values of socio
economic justice.
The Vision comprises three priority sectors namely
economic growth and wealth creation, social investment and
human development and creating an enabling environment
for sustainable social economic development. Credit: Zanis
