Copperbelt Provincial Education Officer Dr. Nathan Kasune has praised the Copperbelt Development Foundation Limited (CDFL), describing the organization as an all-weather and dependable partner in the education sector.
Dr. Kasune expressed gratitude after CDFL handed over a girls’ dormitory project valued at K2.25 million at Lisomona Secondary School in Masaiti District.
The project includes a modern girls’ dormitory complete with an ablution block, a 50-metre borehole, a six-metre concrete stand, a 10,000-litre PVC water tank fitted with an electric pump, as well as 25 steel bunk beds and 50 mattresses.
He noted that despite Government’s significant investment in the education sector, partnerships remain critical in addressing the growing demand for infrastructure.
Dr. Kasune said school enrolment continues to rise due to population growth and the introduction of free education, placing increased pressure on existing facilities.
He added that support from partners such as CDFL plays a vital role in helping the Ministry of Education meet its infrastructure needs.
Dr. Kasune also encouraged parents and the girl child to take full advantage of the new facility to enhance learning outcomes.
He further appealed to other cooperating partners to consider supporting the construction of similar infrastructure for boys in order to promote balance and equal opportunities for all learners.
