The minister says it is pleasing that a significant number of youths have left the streets and been able to access education. Mr Syakalima is confident that all the children roaming in the streets would be removed and taken to school for under the UPND government, education was a priority and that was why it was being offered free to all.<\/p>\n

Mr Syakalima however says, most schools were still facing challenges as they had no desks and proper classroom blocks. He has since challenged the private sector to come on board to ensure that no child is learning in an unfriendly environment.<\/p>\n
