General Education Minister David Mabumba says 26 primary schools in Lusaka will be upgraded to Secondary level in 2020.
Mr. Mabumba says upgrading of primary schools is meant to reduce the distance learners cover to access education across townships in the city.
The Minister was speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a one by six classroom block, a staff house and ablution block at the recently upgraded Mahatma Ghandi primary school in Lusaka’s Mtendere Township.
Mr. Mabumba said it is the vision of government to provide quality education to learners through the upgrading of schools.
In October, Mahatma Ghandi primary was upgraded into a Secondary school.

Thanks President ECL for this Minister, probably the best Minister in your government.
All of a sudden, boom no examination leakages, schools reduced to help many parents afford sending their children to school and now distances covered by many learners every day to be reduced.
This man is embodies what we should be seeing happening as being done by elected officials.
This Minister should be in the forefront to succeed ECL.
Are you aware of the cost of building test laboratories in each of those schools Mr. Minister? and the equipment?
When are you going to create establishment for the 220 schools which were upgraded as far back as 2014.
Do we have the money? Shall we for once also focus on quality
My grand son asked me who/what Mahatma Gandhi means/was to ZAMBIA? I didn’t have the answer so please bloggers; can you assist me with the answer and what this KANDI means to our grandchildren today?
Pay the HoDs headteacher, deputy in the upgraded schools. Upgrade the teachers who have attained higher qualifications.
