We’re very pleased to report that the consignment of Lifeplayer MP3s has arrived in Zambia, and is awaiting distribution. Our initial plan was to undertake distribution and training for the teaching mentors involved in late September or early October. However, in discussions with the Zambian Ministry of Education officials, it has been decided to move out the training closer to the end of the school year. The school year in Zambia starts in mid-January and runs through the first week of December, which gives a long break over the festive season. Moving the training dates is being done for two reasons: first, so that teachers can start afresh in the New Year with recently completed training; and second, to facilitate other teacher training programmes that are planned by the Ministry.
Lifeline Energy supports the Learning at Taonga Market programme in community schools in the Southern and Eastern provinces of Zambia. Our Lifeplayers will be loaded with Taonga Market lessons that cover primarily the foundation grades (Grade 1 and 2) to start, although some schools will include material for higher grades.
