MAKEBI ZULU BLASTS UPND GOVT OVER TEACHER SHORTAGE IN WESTERN PROVINCE
By Current Zambia
Makebi Zulu has expressed disappointment over the continued shortage of teachers and what he described as government failure to build new schools in Western Province.
The PF presidential candidate raised these concerns when he featured on a programme hosted by Emmanuel Mwamba. Hon. Zulu said that during his recent visit to Western Province, he observed that many schools are overwhelmed with learners due to a critical shortage of teachers.
He alleged that the current administration has only completed projects that were initiated by the Patriotic Front, including selected school infrastructure and the road leading to the Limulunga Palace. According to him, no significant new projects have been initiated in the province.
Mr. Zulu further stated that poor conditions of service for workers, coupled with inadequate staffing levels, have negatively affected service delivery. He warned that the teacher shortage has resulted in overcrowded classrooms, placing immense pressure on the few available teachers and ultimately affecting academic performance in the province.
He has since called on the government to urgently recruit more teachers and invest in new school infrastructure to address the growing education crisis in Western Province.
You are now blasting the innocent UPND government for the Teachers you never employed. These are the gaps you left when you lost power, they are still yawning. Whom do think should have employed Teachers in Western Province if you PF never employed them?
Once a cabinet minister, only discovering now, things which should have been done during his time.
He can stay in WP and teach
He had nothing to say them under PF government they recruited how many teachers?? Recruited only 1000 and people they had to pay k15000 to get a job through a cadre no advert .
Makebi Zulu please can you for once…SHUT UP!
PF never employed any teachers in Western Province; UPND is steadily filling the huge gaps you PFools left so, SHUT UP! Cheap campaign.
Yes cheap campaign indeed. He should tell us what is the cause of the problem, when it started and his solution, otherwise it is just cheap politicking.
