Malole area Member of Parliament in Mungwi District in Northern Province Christopher Yaluma has urged pupils in his constituency to positively use Information Technology and Communication for their personal development.
Mr. Yaluma, who is also Minister of Mines and Mineral development, said technological advancements around the world call for a generation that is well acquainted with ICTs.
He said the introduction of the education curriculum on ICTs is meant to help pupils understand the use of electronic gadgets such as computers in order them to integrate into the modern society.
The Lawmaker was however quick to appeal to young people to refrain from negative use of ICTs which may destroy their lives.
Mr Yaluma said this when he handed over 40 computers and other computer lab accessories to be used for ICT lessons in schools under Kayambi Parish.
He further pledged to assist in the construction of a new computer lab at Kayambi Secondary School.
And receiving the donation, Kayambi Parish Priest Father Patrick Kateule said the computers will not only help learners at Kayambi School but all the schools dotted across the parish catchment area.
Technology progression in the last 20 years alone accounts for 50% of all technology since the creation of this world
You are correct Lombe, and yet we in Zambia aren’t embracing technology.. imagine how far behind we’ll be in another 20 years…?
Its not Information Technology and Communication ba LT.
