GOVERNMENT is determined to attain highest levels of civilisation through education.

Chavuma District Commissioner Benjamin Mufunga says the Patriotic Front government is determined to ensure that the highest levels of civilisation is attained through provision of quality education.

Mr Mufunga said government has made improvements to the education sector because it believes that education is the cornerstone that spurs a nation to greater economic,  cultural, legal and social heights.

He was speaking during the Chavuma district selection meeting for Grade 8 pupils that was held at the district resource centre.

Mr Mufunga noted that the pragmatic and vibrant curriculum that government has put in place through the ministry of General Education is a clear indication of its commitment to ensuring that quality education reaches the remotest districts like Chavuma.

He added that, to realise it’s aspirations, government has deployed 32 teachers to Chavuma.

“And we hope that they will work towards the promotion of quality education and economic emancipation at both district and national level,” Mr Mufunga said.

He said teachers are agents of educational change and are capable of motivating pupils to believe in themselves and grow into responsible citizens that will add value to the wellbeing of the country.

He urged the team entrusted with the task of conducting the district Grade 8 selection exercise to exhibit maximum precision for the benefit of the pupils.
