He said this after attending mass at Mansa Cathedral Catholic Church today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot long ago government introduced free education and that you have more numbers being enrolled in primary school and the like,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now to introduce that at grade 7 will mean that some people will have to leave school at grade seven. The question then is how much skill will they have acquired up to grade 7?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hon Mundubile explained that there is very little one could do after failing grade 7. \u201cSo clearly it goes against what we did as the Patriotic Front. What we did back in the day, if you remember there was what we called grade 7 failure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was very little one could do after failing grade 7. So the PF introduced automatic progression. In other words, you remove those from grade 7 so that everybody progresses to grade 8 and maybe at grade 9 introduce standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He questioned the intention of free education under the UPND government. \u201cThe argument was that a person who has gone up to grade 9 was easier to train under skills&#8230; even under trade school,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PF built more school to be able to absorb these numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
