While thousands of trained Zambian teachers sit unemployed and classes overflow with students, Zambia will shell out a staggering $156 million more on debt repayments than it will spend on education this year.

The country is unable to reach the completion point because Government has not met certain benchmarks under the HIPC Initiative. The implication of this position is that the objective of poverty reduction will not be met because resources will simply not be available and this is CSPR’s concern. [Lire] - August 2003 |
