Luampa Area Member of Parliament Makozo Chikote has officially handed over a one by two-classroom block at Nakonge primary school in Luampa District, a project funded using the 2023 Constituency Development Funds (CDF).

Speaking during the handover, Mr. Chikote said the school has been using temporary classrooms since 2007.

The MP noted that the classroom space will enable the pupils to learn in a conducive and favourable environment, which is also good for their intellectual capability.  

“This project aligns with President Hakainde Hichilema’s commitment to enhancing the education sector across the country, CDF is a game changer,” he said.

Speaking at the same event, Luampa District Education Board Secretary, Sandala Makumbu remarked on the significant improvements in the education sector due to the CDF.

Mr Makumbu noted that the transition from makeshift classrooms to proper infrastructure was now evident, even in the most remote areas of the district.

 “We commend the government for ensuring that the new classrooms are equipped with desks, which I believe foster a more conducive learning environment for both students and teachers,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nakonge Parent Teacher Association (P.T.A) Chairperson, Allan Kakumbi expressed gratitude towards President Hakainde Hichilema’s new dawn administration for fulfilling campaign promises to the community.

Mr Kakumbi highlighted the positive impact of the new classrooms on the local education system, reinforcing the community’s support for ongoing government initiatives aimed at improving educational facilities.
