Zambia: UNICEF calls for state commitment to education

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has called for more commitment to the provision of an enabling environment for quality education. UNICEF country representative, Stella Goings, said in an interview that the nation should do more to enable children to acquire quality education. Dr Goings said UNICEF was recognisant that the Zambian Government was doing a lot with scarce resources to make sure that the children got the best education. She said UNICEF was committed to helping the government realise that dream, but called for more dedication from the government to make sure that Zambia produced educated leaders and professionals.
