The Minister was speaking when he addressed unemployed teachers from all provinces across the country in Lusaka.

He said the eleven public teacher training institutions will instead focus on in-house training so that teaching skills can be enhanced.

Dr. Wanchinga also said there is no need for teacher training colleges to offer degree programs when the University of Zambia and other institutions are offering similar programs.

He also disclosed that Government will next year recruit teachers but did not give the number of those to be employed.

And Dr. Wanchinga said Government will ban the daily replacement of teachers to curb corruption in the recruitment exercise.

He said the teacher replacement exercise will instead be done quarterly in order to promote transparency.
