Ministry of General Education Permanent Secretary- Technical Services Jobbicks Kalumba has commended the Lusaka Provincial Education Officer for ensuring that schools in Lusaka implement the Production Unit Program.
Speaking when he officiated at the Fish harvesting ceremony at Lusaka Girls and Kabulonga Boys Secondary School in Lusaka, Dr. Kalumba stated that the government is delighted that the provincial administration has taken seriously the directive by the government for schools to reintroduce production units in order to be self-reliant.
And Dr Kalumba has urged schools in the country to use their production units to produce more fish to supply to the ready market.
The General Education Permanent Secretary also expressed delight that despite the outbreak of coronavirus, the implementation of the production unit programs in schools has not been affected.
“This is what is needed to be seen in leadership at all levels of Education, once a policy direction is given then our men and women on the ground must be seen to ran with the vision and implement what government has put in place,” Dr. Kalumba added.
Dr. Kalumba also commended the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for working with the schools’ management in ensuring that the implementation of the production unit program in schools yields positive results.
And Lusaka Provincial Educational Officer Christopher Sinkamba also commended teachers for working hard in ensuring the success of the Production unit in Schools.
“What we have seen today is as a result of your effort to make sure that products unit succeeds in schools,” Mr. Sinkamba stated.
Mr. Sinkamba also stated that the implementation of the production units will also cushion the burden that schools face following the reduction of school fees in secondary schools.
He further urged parents to complement this by paying the reduced fees so that they can work together to provide a good environment for pupils as they educate them.
Excellent development. I love this. Our government is investing in young people to ensure they have skills in the future and are not restricted to theoretical office based roles. They are future business leaders. Meanwhile hh is busy calling himself bally. How childish

You have sold all sports fields to the Chinks in urban areas ..now you want the very little land to be used as fish ponds like at State House. Please take Lazy Lungu’s daft mindset somewhere else.
This is excellent!! I actually recall having Production Unit, aka P.U back in the day in different Secondary Schools. It’s good to see that some of the previous excellent initiatives are being re-introduced and appreciated as they become more and more essential with a growing population that must diversify their career goals. In my opinion, any form of farming at this point is the way to go and a good beginning to bigger projects to come!!
This is excellent but I hope the production units are being used as learning resources and not just for raising funds for school running costs. In some schools, only locally employed staff work in the so called production units. Children do not even know what is happening.
Excellent but this is not a new initiative it was implemented long time ago during UNIP era.
The only problem is leadership quality in country.
These are the same ideas of kaunda vision.We used to have production unity at boarding
school across the country.
