by Chali Mulenga
Deputy Minister of Education, science vocational training Prof.
Nevelyn Wilombe has called on teachers in the country to upgrade
themselves academically whenever they get the opportunity to do so.
The minister was addressing teachers after touring David Livingstone
High in Livingstone on Thursday he explained that no District
Education Board should stop teachers from upgrading themselves as they
need more competent skills to march with the ever changing trends.
“Teachers should not leave when there is no replacement for them as
the children will suffer,” Prof. Wilombe said.
“Teachers are very important and their contribution to quality
employable education should be encouraged for the benefit of the
pupils,” the minister added.
Prof. Wilombe urged the teachers to show competes and hard work as
pupils tend to take on teachers attitudes towards their school work.
“If you are always late and do not prepare for your lessons to help
better educate the pupils the outcome is seen in the poor results of
pupils. If you as teachers shoe seriousness then he pupils will
emulate the same,” he stated.
Prof. Wilombe explained that quality education is found in teachers
and change is
dynamic and so teachers should upgrade themselves and not remain at
the same stage or level throughout their careers.
The minister advised teachers to be committed, hardworking, show competence and
prepare lessons to better educate children.
He said the PF government wants to see a high pass rate in the country
and discouraged extra lessons as this shows that teachers are not
doing what they are employed to do in the class room.
“You are employed to pass your knowledge to learners and you should
understand each child individually not collectively as this will help
you teach better”, he said
Earlier on in the Day the Minister and his entourage toured Kazungula
High School which is still under construction and expressed happiness
at the pace at which it has taken.
Provincial Education Officer Martin Simatende said the construction of
the school has taken over four years.
He expressed hope that the construction will be completed soon to
enable more pupils get higher education in the area.
He said the community called on government to construct a school for
the children as the area lacked one for a long time.
Mr. Simatende added that the Construction is awaiting phase before it
can be completed which is still a national tender still awaiting
approval.
