Teaching Council of Zambia pressures unregistered teachers to pursue registration

The unlicensed teachers have received a warning message from the Teaching Council of Zambia. The Council has appealed to the unregistered teachers to immediately registered themselves to shun being inconvenienced.

In a conversation with Zanis, Malonga Ngoza, the spokesperson of Teaching Council of Zambia opined that it (the council) wouldn’t allow the unlicensed teachers to interact with their leaners as doing so is against the law.

Malonga Ngoza cited that the number of 146,000 registered teachers (with Teaching Council of Zambia) is quite encouraging. Even the submission of another 70,000 fresh applicants is also a good omen of transparency and prospect what Ngoza believes. According to her, when the teachers are licensed by the council, the public can be assured that their children are in the hands of a qualified person, as reported by Lusaka Times.

On the other hand, people and district authorities have extolled the Zambian government for the formation of Teaching Council of Zambia. One head teacher of a school said that it was very pathetic to see that there are some teachers who are fond of behaving in an unacceptable manner such as reporting for work drunk. Hence, the creation of the Council will assist the private institutions to stop employing unqualified teachers in their institutions.
