World Vision Zambia has called for continuous investment in the education sector in order for Zambia to see improved learning outcomes.
According to World Vision, increased investments would also result in equitable access to high-quality, inclusive education across the three age groups from infancy to adolescence.
“World Vision Zambia recognizes the human right to education, particularly for the most vulnerable. World Vision has therefore commended the government’s free education policy because it believes all children have a right to compulsory, free, inclusive and high-quality primary education in the communities where they live,” it stated.
World Vision Zambia technical programme manager for the Reading and Development (ZREAD) programme, Francis Sampa said his organisation remained steadfast in its contribution to the education sector and would continue to work with the government,communities, and traditional leaders.
“The goal of the Technical Programme is to target 140,000 Boys and Girls to receive quality literacy teaching and learning environments in the 32 areas of World Vision’s operations in the 72 districts of the country,” Sampa said.

He said this in a statement made available to the Zambia Monitor on Tuesday by World Vision Zambia local fundraising and communications associate director Sally Namutowe.
The main focus of the education technical programme was to improve learners’ performance level in literacy and numeracy in early grades from Early Childhood Education (ECE) to grade four aligned to the Primary Literacy Programme (PLP).
He said this aligns with addressing the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) four on quality education.
