Meanwhile, Ministry of Information and Media Director Spokesperson Thabo Kawana said everything about the New Dawn Government and its delivery to the people is anchored on the Ministry of Education.
The Director Spokesperson said the Ministry can be benchmarked at hundred per cent as it has and continues to deliver to the Zambian people’s expectations.
“To us we are ever so proud and that is why in our little way, we do everything possible to support the Ministry of Education,” Mr Kawana said.
Mr. Kawana said the New Dawn Government looks up to the Ministry hence appealed to staff to continue on the same path so that other civil servants can emulate their good work.
