In an effort to encourage teachers to work diligently and increase the number of students excelling in their education, McTimes Pagonanji Malowa has awarded a sum of 1.1 million kwacha to teachers who have demonstrated outstanding performance in their duties.
This initiative, implemented in the Maravi Zone of Chiradzulu District, aims to motivate teachers to continue striving for excellence, ensuring that more students are selected to advance to secondary schools.
Speaking at Nguludi Secondary School, Malowa acknowledged the teachers’ hard work, despite the area producing a smaller number of students selected for secondary school. He emphasized the importance of recognizing and appreciating their efforts.
Maravi Zone Education Advisor, Cecelia Mlenga, expressed gratitude for the support, noting that out of 795 students who sat for the PLCE exams, 666 passed, with 268 selected for secondary school, including 12 for national schools.
The initiative highlights the positive impact of teacher dedication on student success.
