MONITORING PROGRESS AT CHAPULA POLYTECHNIC IN LUFWANYAM DISTRICT -6th September 2025
Minister of Technology and Science Honorable Chipota Mutati, MP has visited Chapula Polytechnic in Lufwanyama District to assess the institution’s progress. Scheduled to open in January 2026, Chapula Polytechnic will be the first entirely new polytechnic in Zambia to adopt a digital framework.
This initiative represents a remarkable collaboration between the private sector and the government, united in their objective to enhance educational opportunities. The project has advanced at an impressive pace, with completion that will be achieved in just over one year.
From the government’s perspective, this endeavor will cultivate a vital and independent community capable of fostering hope and stability through education. Such opportunities contribute to peace and harmony within society. We are dedicated to establishing a center of excellence that reflects the success of Kagem Mine, the world’s largest emerald-producing entity, which captures approximately 20% of the global market.
During his visit, Minister Mutati also took the opportunity to tour Kagem Mine and another educational institution constructed by Kagem, further emphasizing the importance of educational development and community engagement.
