Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy Minister of Education Nancy Chaola Mdooko has expressed concern over sub-standard construction work of a school block at Jombo Primary School in Chikwawa District.<\/p>\n

Speaking after inspecting the project on Wednesday, Mdooko emphasized that the contractor should redo the work, saying that her ministry prioritizes quality buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not satisfied with the way the school block is being constructed. The contractor should believe in quality work, and therefore they should redo the work,\u201d Mdooko said.<\/p>\n

Mdooko then commended the community and the contractor for maintaining a good relationship during the project implementation. In his statement, the contractor, Simon Yotamu, explained that the construction work has been affected by rain, resulting in poor quality output.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction work has been affected by rain, causing the cement to lose quality. But I am confident everything will be well,\u201d said Yotamu.<\/p>\n

In her remarks, head teacher for Jombo Primary School, Rhoda Malunga expressed optimism that the newly constructed school block, once completed, will reduce overcrowding in classrooms, which she said remains a big challenge at the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cShortage of school blocks is a big challenge we are experiencing here. This project is surely a welcome development as it will help us have enough classrooms,\u201d said Malunga.<\/p>\n
