The Ministry of Education says Eastern Province has already finalized the process of recruiting teachers.
Provincial Education Officer, Allan Lingambe says that the responsibility now lies with the Ministry of Education headquarters in Lusaka to finalize the process.
Mr. Ligambe told Breeze News that the Ministry of Education in Eastern Province picked 472 teachers in the recruitment exercise.
He however, indicated that the list of those that were picked is not final as the ministry headquarters in Lusaka will use its own scrutiny process.
Yesterday Civil Society for Poverty Reduction CSPR challenged government to explain why the teacher recruitment exercise has not been done up to now.
Civic Participation and Advocacy Programme Officer, Maxson Nkhoma said that CSPR was disheartened and extremely concerned with the delays in concluding the teacher recruitment exercise.
Meanwhile efforts to get a comment from Ministry of General Education Spokesperson Hillary Chipango on how far the ministry has gone to conclude the recruitment exercise proved futile by News time.
