A SCAM has been unearthed in which government is recruiting unqualified teachers.
The Zambia National Union of Teachers (ZNUT) has disclosed the development and questioned the criteria being used in the recruitment.
ZNUT President, Newman Bubaala says the Union has information that some of the Teachers who have been recruited are not qualified.
He has called on District Education Boards and the provincial education officers to rectify the scam.
And in a related development the just published names of recruited Zambia Airforce exercise was marred with nepotism and corruption.
And recruitment attendees have also questioned the creteria used to do the selection as many claim there was corruption involved.
The ZAF recruitment has over 80% of the names selected from Lusaka province alone with these provinces like Luapula only having 7 people selected.
Other provinces had 5 selected but the majority came from Lusaka.
“It is not known if this is how the PF government has devised its plans on how officer rwcruitments will be done or its using the same culprits from the previous regime who use nepostic way of doing officer recruitment.”
The Zambia Airforce recruiting exercise is marred with nepotism.
“Much desires to be done at Zambia Air Force headquaters recruitment office as capable individuals have been sidelined by undeserving persons who have been chosen based on relational background.”
The new recruitee’s this week underwent medical examination in Lusaka and are yet to go for training.
The recently released names are dominated by Lusaka province.
Some have now refered to it as a ‘Family Force’ and not Zambia Airforce.
**WILL THESE RECRUITMENTS ONLY BENEFIT LUSAKA Province and to be particular those from well to do homes even if they don’t qualify? ARE THEY national recruitments or regional ??***

Corruption and Nepotism in zambia!!! i applied for ZAF and my name was called for the aptitude tests we wrote those,the names were printed recently my particulars were; CB0000368 M.MUBANGA- N.R.C 242057/42/1 PQEs ENGINEERING. Bt suprisingly my N.R.C turned to be 242668/63/1 after a strong feeling to verify they told me the important is the NRC.So there is nothing we can do over that.

Iliko bad.I wrote those tests and it really didn’t matter if u have degree or what – what but how one really applies their mental skills.Nga ni mechanical reasoning u really had to not just think but think real hard, elo in seconds. The secret about such aptitudes is that u don’t waste too much time on a question, cz there were too many to write. And the marking is out of the questions u answered.

Am so saddened to learn that maths and Science teachers were left out coz there is a serious shortage of such in our schools. The shortage is so bad that even pipo who did Natural Resource Management with us from unza have recruited. When I asked a DEBs personnel, she said the second time they advertised, they were jst looking 4 a very small number to replace those who did not report. I feel first priority shud hav been given to graduates coz they r best qualified.

Teacher recruitment is pathetic and my wife is a victim she has been left out three times now despite graduating with a merit from ktc,one suprising thing is that two people have been posted in luapula,one of the completed in april this year and the may posting he was picked just because his father is one of the big fish at provincial head quarters in luapula the second one hasn’t even complited and she is posted.This guys said apply in rural areas of which my wife did but still left out and you find many posted in towns where thy say are no places ,please mr ps education your office is rotten and stinks of corruption and nepotism

The Sata led government shud look into such matters urgently as they may compromise quality in our beautiful country. Another aspect shud be the recruitment of officers in intelligence wings like O.P. Sata I elected you because I thought you wud change things, don’t disapoint me.

PF GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY IT IS EVERYWHERE IN GOVERMENT FROM PERSONNEL DIVISION AT CABINET OFFICE TO QUASI GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS! IT STARTED IN 1984 IN UNIP THEN TRANSFERRED TO MMD IN 1991.WE HAD CHILDREN OF MINISTERS WHO HAD ONLY TWO O’LEVELS AS OFFICERS OR PASSES IN TWO SUBJECTS !
