The schools that have been ranked are really schools that are doing fine with high standards of education, but a challenge is on the fees that many of the ranked schools have, low income getting people can not afford, hence need to look into this issue so hat at the end of it all development in africa is achieved, by sharing the cake of knowledge. At university of Lusaka were I am, it has good learning standards, but how to get those standards is a challenge, hence I really need these standards and it could be done through co-operation with other people.
halo. education systems in africa are not effective because they were designed by colonialists to serve their interests.i recommend for radical and total overhaul of all systems that are colonial based in africa.
While I do accept the rankings especially from the infrastructural view point, I’m struggling to believe that schools like David Kaunda Technical High School would take the 11th position behind the 10 private schools. Can someone highlight the criteria used to rank these schools to enable parents make informed decisions?
