KATUMBA DAY BOARDING SECONDARY SCHOOL IN COURSE

Poised to become the first public boarding secondary school in Kanchibiya and located in the area of His Royal Highness Chief Mpepo, the construction of Katumba Day Boarding Secondary School is steadily taking shape and moving on course.

Kanchibiya Member of Parliament Sunday Chanda says once completed, the school will significantly expand access to quality secondary education for learners across the constituency. 

Mr. Chanda says the project comes with a wide range of essential infrastructure designed to create a conducive learning and living environment for pupils.

Key facilities under construction include:

✅ 1×2 Classroom Block

✅ 1×3 Classroom Block

✅ Two (2) Dormitories (Male & Female)

The Kanchibiya MP says the construction of this World Bank and Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) funded boarding school is yet another game-changer for Kanchibiya.

He says it represents a major step forward in ensuring that children from remote communities can access quality secondary education closer to home.

Mr. Chanda says notably, this will become the second boarding secondary school established within five years, following the construction of Our Lady of Victories Boarding Secondary School by the Catholic Church in the Mpika Diocese.

He said this steady expansion of educational infrastructure signals a new chapter for the district.

Mr. Chanda has commended President Hakainde Hichilema and the Ministry of Education (Zambia) for their continued commitment to improving access to quality education through infrastructure development across the country.

He has also extended Gratitude to the World Bank, whose partnership continues to play a pivotal role in transforming the education sector in Kanchibiya.

Mr. Chanda said special appreciation goes to His Royal Highness Chief Mpepo for generously providing the land on which Katumba Boarding Secondary School is being constructed.

Mr. Chanda said Kanchibiya is hungry for development.
