Ministry of Education Permanent Secretary for Educational Services, Kelvin Mambwe has revealed that the Catch-up Programme currently benefits over one million learners countrywide.<\/p>\n
The Programme was initially piloted in selected schools in Southern Province, in 2016, with an objective of addressing widening learning gaps among primary learners, through the Teaching at the Right Level (TARL) methodology.<\/p>\n
Dr Mambwe says the programme has recorded increased learner competence in literacy and numeracy, further attributing the unprecedented 70 percent grade 12 pass-rate in 2025, to such interventions.<\/p>\n
He has noted that the programme has also increased teacher confidence in handling diverse classrooms and enhanced collaboration in the education system, among other successes.<\/p>\n
Dr Mambwe said this in Lusaka, when he welcomed a delegation from Namibia on the Catch-up Programme which is in the country, to share lessons on teacher mentoring and monitoring.<\/p>\n
And Namibian delegation leader , Meerkat Learning Country Director, Angelica Amporo described Zambia’s Catch-up Programme as a shining model that the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region can learn from.<\/p>\n
