School Gateway iv Executive Summary The task of improving reading in Zambia is mammoth and calls for concerted efforts on the part of different stakeholders. Over the past couple of years, the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education (MESVTEE) in collaboration with several cooperating partners has been continuously working to improve learner performance in reading through school effectiveness programs. USAID/Read to Succeed (RTS) Project has emerged as one of the leading partners in the quest to improve literacy in the country. RTS worked closely with a cross-directorate MESVTEE structure to provide a sense of direction to project planning, implementation and monitoring of interventions. In collaboration with the Ministry, all project supported interventions were rolled out to all target districts1 and all 1143 primary public schools in target districts resulting into the introduction of a range of innovative ideas. The interventions enabled school managers, teachers, community members, district and provincial officials to design, manage, support and sustain early grade reading initiatives in primary schools.

  • CHAPTER FIVE Introduction of Computer Education in the Curriculum of Zambian Primary and Secondary Schools: Benefits and Challenges
    Selected readings in education, Vol.2, 2019: 56-71, edited by Madalitso Khulupirika Banja, Marvel Publishers, Lusaka. CHAPTER FIVE Introduction of computer education in the curriculum of Zambian primary and secondary schools: benefits and challenges Felesia Mulauzi, Gabriel Walubita and Judith Pumulo Abstract The important role of ICTs in improving learning and teaching in the education sector has been widely recognised. Governments worldwide are prioritising the training of their citizens in ICTs. Consequently, the Government of the Republic of Zambia through the Ministry of General Education introduced the Computer Studies in schools, starting from Grade Eight and ending at Twelve. However, there has been limited understanding on the benefits of introducing this subject to both teachers and learners and challenges faced to teach the subject in Zambian schools. The purpose of this study was to establish the benefits and challenges in the teaching and learning of Computer Studies in Mwandi District, Western Province of Zambia. The study employed a qualitative approach where 16 schools participated in the study. Thirty-two purposively selected respondents, two from each school, participated in the study. Face-to-face interviews and non- participant observations were methods used to collect data. Data was analysed thematically. The findings revealed that there is insufficient ICT infrastructure in schools. Teachers with a bit of knowledge of computers or interest in ICTs are used to teach Computer Studies. The main benefits of having computer

  • Consolidated Report for Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Mosquito Nets
    Republic of Zambia Ministry of Health Western Provincial Health Office CONSOLIDATED REPORT FOR LONG LASTING INSECTICIDE TREATED MOSQUITO NETS 2017 / 2018 INTRODUCTION Western province is one of the 10 provinces of Zambia, located 22 degrees and 25.30 degrees east and 13.45 degrees and 17.45 degrees south. It shares 2 international boundaries – Angola in the west and Namibia in the south. It has an area of 126 386-sq kilometres (16.8% of the total land of Zambia). It consist of 16 districts namely Kalabo, Kaoma, Lukulu, Mongu, Senanga, Sesheke, Shangombo, Nalolo, Mitete, Limulunga, Mwandi, Sioma, Luampa, Nkeyema, Sikongo and Mulobezi. Road communication is very poor in most parts of the province due to deep sandy roads, plains that are flooded during some part of the year. The general poor state of the few existing gravel roads entails that only 4 wheel drive vehicles are appropriate in Western Province. This negatively affects provision of care, delivery of logistics and transfers and patient referral systems. Background The Zambia Malaria Elimination Strategy 2017-2021 aims at reducing the burden of malaria in the country to levels where the disease is no longer a public health problem and achieve the ultimate vision of a malaria free Zambia. One approach for malaria prevention is scaling up use of the ITNs through various channels including mass distribution campaigns to achieve universal coverage in malaria prone areas of the country. The Ministry of Health through the National Malaria Elimination Center (NMEC) with support from partners conducted the 2017 Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) mass distribution campaign country wide.
