And in receiving the thanksgiving letter Copperbelt Minister Elisha Matambo thanked the students for appreciating the works of the President. Mr. Matambo said President Hichilema has put education among his top priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a President who has education at his heart that is why he has re-introduced student\u2019s meal allowance, introduced free education, recruited teachers as well as introducing a boarding fee component on the Constituency Development Funds (CDF), \u201d He said.<\/p>\n

He promised the students that they have an action-oriented President as demonstrated through the various fulfilled promises he made such introduction of free education, recruitment of teachers and health workers as well as paying retirees of their long-awaited dues.<\/p>\n

Mr. Matambo also promised the students that he will deliver their thanks giving letter to the President tomorrow. He also assured the students that the President will attend to their requests.<\/p>\n

Government has re-introduced student\u2019s meal allowances and students will start receiving the money from January next year. The re-introduction of the meal allowances was announced in Parliament by Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane when he presented the 2023 National Budget.<\/p>\n
