The National Action for Quality Education in Zambia (NAQEZ) has welcomed news that the government of Madagascar wishes to have about 500 Zambian Teachers to go and help with the teaching of English language in that Country.
NAQEZ Executive Director Aaron Chansa says his organization supports this exercise because Zambia has more than 40,000 teachers who are trained but unemployed.
Mr. Chansa says the Madagascar deal will create employment and allow these teachers to go and learn other teaching practices, values and work ethics in that country.
“The cross pollination of ideas between Madagascan teachers and Zambians will also help to improve our own education system,” he said.
“Already, we are receiving very good reports about the Zambian teachers currently exported to Seychelles. They are doing very well.”
Mr. Chansa has appealed to the Ministry of General Education to make the selection process to be very transparent where everyone will be given chance to compete.
“We would also love to see a situation where our exports (teachers in Madagascar) are given good working conditions. They need to be comfortable in that foreign land,” said Mr. Chansa.
Mr. Chansa has since appealed to those who will finally be selected to go and work extra hard so that other Countries could ask for teachers from Zambia.
