The Zambezi Education Directorate has opened a new primary school in the Kabbe North Constituency.

The school will mainly accommodate children from Libula and Kalimbeza villages who previously had to walk on foot to far-off schools.

The Malalankanga Primary School was started as a community school project by locals to address the distance learners had to walk to the nearest schools.

It has now been approved as a government school, with learners in the area going to their school just a stone's throw away.

The Zambezi Education Directorate has officially launched September as the month for lifelong learning.

Residents marched in celebration of the launch at Katima Mulilo.

The launch incorporates adult learner's week, which runs from the first to the 8th of September, as well as international literacy day on the 8th.

The aim is to raise awareness about the value of adult learning, celebrate achievements, and inspire more people to discover the positivity of lifelong learning.

The Zambezi Education Directorate hopes to improve access to services through its just-launched customer service charter.

The charters follow a directive by the Office of the Prime Minister last year for all ministries to establish functional customer charters.

Launching the concession on behalf of the Zambezi Governor Alfuea Sampofu, Katima Mulilo Urban Councillor, Kennedy Simasiku said he hoped it would serve towards improved service delivery in the region.
