Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary, Elijah Chisanga, says government attaches great importance to the education sector with the view of eradicating poverty in the country as outlined in the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP).
Mr. Chisanga disclosed that government has since embarked on a programme to built five basic schools in Lusaka province at a cost K1.38 billion.
He said four of these schools are already under construction at Mikango and Bundabunda in Chongwe district, Chilikusha in Luangwa and Shimabala in Kafue, while plans are under way to acquire a site for the construction of the fifth one.
He said once completed, these schools are expected to create about 1,840 school places for children who would otherwise be out of school, saying this development reflects government’s commitment to fostering national development.
Meanwhile, Mr. Chisanga says government has commenced periodic road maintenance works on the great east road stretching from the Airport roundabout to Luangwa turnoff at the cost of K80 billion, adding that the works are expected to completed in the quarter of 2010.
He further said that the Roads Development Agency has commenced re-gravelling and drainage works on the Ngwerere-Chisamba road at a cost of K13 billion and the project is expected to be completed by November, 2008.
Other road works include the upgrading of Mungwi, Kasupe and Zingalume roads as well as the Airport road at a cost of K25 billion.
He added that government has also commenced the tarring of roads in Kabwata ,Libala ,Chilenje and Nyumbayanga, covering a stretch of 25 kilometres at the cost of K14 billion.
And Mr. Chisanga has reiterated his earlier advice to civil servants to remain non-partisan if they are to ensure that developmental programmes are effectively implemented, saying civil servants should ensure that they implement projects successfully.
He was speaking at the official opening of the Lusaka Provincial Development Coordinating Committee (PDCC) held at Sandys Creations in Lusaka today.

These are just last kicks of a dieing horse,when has education been around that it only suits you to see the importance of it now that it is election tym? Gwan learn yourself you so called leaders cos you just a big let down
boring,just trying to give a number to the comments posted
Mr chisanga this is cheap politics stop talking about this that u dont know just because the time for MMD is gone Zambians are now educated you cant cheat them just like that they are set for a change i dont know is carrying the day of 30th but i wud wish the Gen. Miyanda to take over coz he is the man of integrity
Ba Chisanga mwandiiiii?! just eat you money nicely. you are too intelligent for such cheap politics.
#3. DR BILL. I doubt which Zambians are educated. If people fail to analyse which of the three candidates suites to rule Zambia in this era and age, I doubt what education they have. If they can support a man with questionable education, I doubt there education. Perhaps education in Political Or Tribal Engineering. Is it true that education is the key to national development? If it is then we are heading for perpetual backwardness.
Govt attaches importance to education – Lusaka PS ?
I think it should read : Importance attaches education to government
or Education attaches government to Govt.
Whatever else the combination but not the about lies.

#10, great posting and great point. Sorry I forgot to mention that you could have just copied and pasted it. However, let us all now work together to develop our only Zambia. I have stayed in the CB (Kitwe and Ndola), Western Province (Senanga), Lusaka and Southern province (Mazabuka, Livingstone, Maamba, Choma, Monze, Chaanga, chikankata and Namalundu).
For this reason, I have a fair representation of the Zambian People. I know that there are good and sound-minded Bemba people. And this is why I categorically mentioned that there is a small group of Bemba-Tribalists.
#10. however, i now understand that this LT Tribalism may be a sponsored thing by the MMD who enjoy seeing the opposition slip, hurt and hate each other. This is why I am on record now to encourage all Zambians, where a Tribalist or not, to come and reason together. We have about 18 days to convince Sata to give up the Presidential race this time and endorse HH. HH has already indicated that he will consider Hon. MC Sata to be his Prime Minister. We can also encourage HH to take Lubinda as Zambian Veep. With this in place, Hon Sata can have enough time to pursue the following posting’s stuff.Viva HH for Zambian President, Lubinda for Zambian Veep and Sata for Prime Minister under a GNU.
