Government urged to prioritise on education

When giving a keynote address during the Teachers Day commemorations held at Shumba Lodge, Phibion said that countries such as Finland, Germany and Singapore uplifted their economies by prioritising in education. 

He said: “Remember in Finland teachers are most valued and those who get exceptional grades in secondary school go for teaching and people who get lower grades go to other professions. The situation is the reverse here because teaching is undermined”.
