Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Member of Parliament for Dedza North, Savel Kafwafwa, has applauded his fellow MCP legislator, Jailos Bonongwe of Kasungu West, for his vision and commitment to promoting education in his constituency.

Kafwafwa made these remarks after Bonongwe facilitated a delegation of teachers, head teachers, and education leaders from Kasungu West to visit Chitundu Zone in Dedza. The purpose of the visit was to learn effective teaching strategies that helped Chitundu Zone achieve second place nationally in sending Standard 8 learners to national secondary schools last year.

Commending Bonongwe’s initiative, Kafwafwa stated that such efforts demonstrate that MPs sometimes prioritize education in their development agendas.

“We take an interest in things that show visible results,” he said.

He explained that Chitundu Zone’s success began in 2019 through teacher motivation, student encouragement, and collaboration with school committees and the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA).

Kafwafwa advised the visiting team to implement the strategies they had learned from Chitundu Zone’s educators to improve educational outcomes in Kasungu West.

Kaphaizi Zone’s Primary Education Adviser (PEA) in Kasungu West, Raymeck Banda, praised MP Bonongwe for sponsoring the learning visit. He emphasized that the insights gained would be utilized to improve Standard 8 learners’ performance in the upcoming national examinations.

Chitundu Zone PEA, Zacharia Joshua, highlighted that the visit was an opportunity to share best practices that have contributed to increased national secondary school selections.

Last year, Chitundu Zone ranked second nationwide, with 22 learners selected to various national secondary schools and 53 others admitted to district secondary schools.
