.LUKUSUZI LEADERS AND TEACHERS TO GET A NEW CDF CLASSROOM BLOCK.

What was regarded a neglected part of Lumezi District prior to the increase in Constituency Development Fund CDF allocations, the valley part of Lumezi is now receiving transformative infrastructure development, particularly in the education sector. Lukusuzi Primary School is one such facility in Mwanya Chiefdom that is about to benefit with a new and modern 1×3 classroom block from CDF after receiving an allocation of K1,145,149.64 with works awarded to Zumale General Dealers. Currently at 40 percent construction works, the new classroom infrastructure once completed will motivate learners and teachers given the improved learning environment to be provided. At the moment, learners are housed in a dilapidated school building, coupled with inadequate space to accommodate learners as some pupils go to an extent of learning under a tree due to the challenge. Lukusuzi Primary School Acting Headteacher Clement Nyoni is thankful to government for constructing a new classroom block and supply of new desks. “We have a challenge in terms of infrastructure because we don’t have enough classroom space to accommodate all learners, that is why sometimes we learn under a tree” Mr. Nyoni said. “This time, we have been given a new 1×3 block which is under construction through CDF. We thank the government for answering our prayer. In our case, we are feeling the impact of CDF because we have been given that chance to benefit from the 1×3 classroom block” he added. Mr. Nyoni has since urged government to continue with the spirit of spearheading meaningful development in rural areas through CDF and his hope is that other nearby schools will soon benefit from the public resources too. “Let government continue with the same spirit not only at Lukusuzi Primary School but even other schools should benefit from the same CDF under the New Dawn government.” Mr. Nyoni added.
