‘Free Education’ is A Tool For Campaign

By Charles Augustine Lwipa Chanda
Allow me to  air out my view on the question or on this annual alarm of free education. Do you know how many people are illiterate because of the same promise? Do you care on how families strives to accommodate their children’s in schools?
Many people are suffering to pay these high rate of school fees. And you fool them every year that they will be free education and quality education. If you say so, it means you know that people are paying these fees on non quality education and instead of more money in your pockets but it less money in their pockets. Dr Scot please don’t take advantage of Zambian people with this government of yours.
If you are to implement what you promised in you manifesto, we beg to abolished these fees and give chance to a good and quality education to everyone in Zambia. One these that all have observed is that you people you like just uttering words to the public without any serious sense of it. Moreover very it is now two week when the same people you are promising free education same have already paid these fees for the grade nine and they will do the same other children’s who will qualify to grade ten. The impression you people we put in government is bad, because we don’t see any progress in your manifesto displayed neither MMD nor PF government.
By the way let me emphasize on the importance of educations: the importance of education is that, it have an impact on society, but seldom we think on how society affects our educational system. We often ignore the fact that social norms, customs and traditions deeply affect education. Society and education are tightly bound entities and hence cannot be separated from each other. I think, society in itself, especially in Zambia is an educational institution. Social interactions that give us the ability to read people. Our customs and values shape our upbringing, thus molding our personalities. We learn from our surroundings; we learn from experience.

Too sad many people have been denied this chance because schools fees. And we could be grateful towards PF government if it had looked in this matter by providing  us with a platform to learn, grow and enrich ourselves. Vice president of Zambia, please don’t politicizing education as a tool for election campaign, remember  it is the future of the every child in Zambia.

We know your children’s go to better schools in Zambia or abroad and they usually write different exams from poor Zambian child. I urge people of Zambia lets open our eyes and analyze what comes to ears. If you said to the all Zambians it could have been better but you talked to the voters in Mpongwe constituency then it does not concern every Zambians your manifesto is fake  am al a patriotic man but don’t fool us.
