I am constantly intrigued at how our government interest in the importance of education seems to be wanning by the day. recently we have heard in the media, government officials at the ministry of education stating that education is not a fundamental right for Zambian children and I am wondering, what sort of a future do we expect if we do not have a sound education system. education is the base on which a country can build upon no matter what way you look at it. I sysmpathize that government may not have the capacity to upgrade schools and build new ones but with the grants that this country gets we must start looking at ways of getting education to the child and people in general. we can look at options like e-learning which in my opinion can solve all education problems.
