By Wilson Mulinda
President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA says there is need to urgently prioritise investments in education to ensure that youths are adequately prepared for the future.
President HICHILEMA says it is critical for Africa’s leadership to prioritise foundational literacy, numeracy and social learning.
The President was speaking when he virtually addressed the Association of the Development of Education in Africa -ADEA- in which he is the Global Champion of Foundational Learning.
He said his administration will continue to work with all partners to advocate for increased investment in education with foundation learning at the heart of the development agenda.
President HICHILEMA said education is the best equalizer, which is why his government implemented the free education policy, supported by recruitment of thousands of teachers to support the continued enrollments.
