Govt to upgrade 10 Primary Schools in Katete

By Christopher Miti

The government is expected to upgrade ten primary schools to secondary schools in Katete District.

This has been necessitated by the change in the school curriculum.

Katete District Education Board Secretary Felistus Nkoloma said the upgrade will require a lot of support.

Mrs. Nkoloma was speaking when Eastern Province Minister Peter Phiri inspected Kanjeza Day Secondary School.

Mr. Phiri said Kanjeza Day Secondary School will soon be ready once the construction of ablution blocks is completed.

He said the school was constructed at a total cost of 1.5 million kwacha from the Constituency Development Fund.

Meanwhile, Katete Town Council Chairperson Fanwell Chama said the CDF and free education policy have continued to create positive impacts in the education sector.

Mr. Chama appealed to Katete residents to safeguard the new school.
