Former students from six primary schools in Lupane East's Lupanda region have launched a collaborative effort to transform educational outcomes. Francis Nkomazana leads the Lupanda Primary Schools Cluster, which brings together local residents and graduates living overseas. The initiative targets persistent zero pass rates that have plagued area schools for years. Poor teacher welfare emerged as a primary factor behind the academic struggles. The group identified infrastructure deficits as barriers to student success.
Fundraising campaigns have generated resources for classroom construction and teacher housing projects. Water supply systems received upgrades while borehole drilling expanded access to clean water. Cottage renovations improved living conditions for educators across the cluster. Thursday's presentation of Starlink connectivity kits marked a technological milestone for the schools. Deputy Minister Dingumuzi Phuti officiated the launch ceremony at Lupanda Secondary School, pledging laptop support to enhance digital learning capabilities.
