computers and software valued at 500 Million Kwacha to five Ministry of
Education-supported teacher training colleges in Luapula, Copperbelt,
Lusaka, and Southern Provinces. The information and communication
technology will enable future teachers to learn how to access resources
online and will strengthen teaching capabilities. United States Agency
for International Development (USAID) Mission Director James Bednar and
Ministry of Education Permanent Secretary Ms. Lillian Kapulu presided
over the ceremony at the ZAMISE Teacher’s Training College in Lusaka.
The
computer and software donation is part of a broader collaboration
between USAID and the Ministry of Education aimed at improving
children's access to schools, assisting the ministry in collecting and
managing information, and supporting school health initiatives.
