25.0 Findings and Comments<br />

Education:<br />

The number of primary schools in <strong>Zhombe</strong> is more than that of secondary schools as in<br />

most constituencies. All the wards in the <strong>Zhombe</strong> constituency consist of at least a<br />

primary school and about 81% of the wards have got at least a secondary school. This<br />

shows a fair distribution of schools in the constituency although it will be more<br />

commendable if all the wards have at least a secondary school, for instance wards 2, 5<br />

and 12.<br />

The fact that most of the schools do not encounter hot seating points to the fact that there<br />

are strides being taken to provide adequate facilities to pupils in terms of infrastructure<br />

like classrooms. The greater number of teachers in most of the schools is trained and it<br />

will be also highly appreciated if all the teachers are trained to foster the delivery of high<br />

quality education.<br />

Health There is a fair distribution of health facilities in the constituency. However the<br />

issue of the shortage of nurses still haunts most of the facilities. The constituency <strong>has</strong> also<br />

1 hospital, in ward 10, which however does not have any resident doctors at it disposal.<br />

There is therefore need to post doctors at this facility to cater for complicated cases that<br />

may not be fully addressed by the nurses.<br />
