Dear Zambian teachers, we warmly congratulate you on your professional holiday - World Teachers’ Day - and sincerely thank our Zambian partners for their continued and systematic support of Zambia’s education sector!

At the invitation of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Zambia, Svetlana Kovaleva, Head of the Russian House in Lusaka, took part in the celebrations of International Teachers’ Day, which brought together educators from different provinces across the country.

The participants proceeded in a ceremonial march from the University of Zambia to one of the country’s most beloved exhibition venues - Show Grounds, where an awards ceremony was held to honour teachers representing different generations and areas of the teaching profession.

The participation of the Russian House in Lusaka in this event was, on the one hand, a great honour and a sign of high recognition from the Zambian side, and on the other, a result of the many years of development of Russian-Zambian cooperation in the field of education.

“Today, the Russian House has definitely become part of a large family in which Zambian teachers work every day to lay the foundations for the country’s future by providing children with quality school education, while Russia helps talented graduates take the next step - to receive professional education and become highly qualified specialists,” said S. Kovaleva.
