MOTHER Eve School’s Executive Director, Simuyemba Kutemwa, says the institution’s unwavering commitment to supporting vulnerable students and explained that 20 percent of its pupils benefit from a 100 percent school bursary, while others receive a 50 percent bursary in Livingstone this year.

Reverend Kutemwa passionately appealed to other private schools to emulate these initiatives.

“Extending a helping hand, especially to those in vulnerable situations, is critical. We urge other private institutions to unite in this cause to ensure deprived children gain access to quality education,” he said.

Speaking to journalists, he said the school’s mission, deeply rooted in the church’s principles, noting the significance of educating vulnerable communities.

Reverand Kutemwa highlighted the founding principle, borne out of a crucial recognition of the community’s educational needs.

He endorsed free education, noting its unexpected positive impact on students’ academic performance.

“While initially concerned about potential drawbacks, we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the marked enhancement in our students’ educational achievements,” he expressed.

Applauding the government’s provision of free education, reverend Kutemwa reaffirmed the school’s commitment to complementing and supporting these initiatives. Over time, the institution has not only earned recognition for academic excellence but also for nurturing the moral integrity of its students.

Reverand Kutemwa emphasized the school’s pivotal role in instilling moral values, attributing this to its church-oriented background and management strategy.

“As a church institution, our focus extends beyond academic excellence; we prioritize the moral development of our pupils. Instilling ethical values is fundamental to our approach to quality education,” he clarified.

Two students, Philip Mutese and Exhildah Mweetwa, shared their career aspirations. Mutese aims to become a pilot, expressing gratitude for the school’s support. Mweetwa, aspiring to be a pharmacist, emphasized the challenges young girls face and the importance of dedication in achieving their goals.

Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Chairman, Malanda Malanda, addressed the financial impact of the COVID-19 period on the school, stressing the significance of parents contributing to their children’s education.

At the Indo-Zambia Livingstone branch, Peggy Hamukoma encouraged fearlessness in pursuing aspirations. She highlighted the limitless potential within each student and emphasized the importance of overcoming challenges.

Ms Hamukoma urged students to utilize their skills for positive change in society and emphasized the need to strive for excellence.

Success, according to Hamukoma, depends on navigating challenges and utilizing their skills for beneficial change and progress.
