One of our Zambia based volunteers Mwate Nampemba recently organised visits to the National Institute of Public Administration and the National Museum.
The school tour specifically targeted examination classes (Grade 7 and Grade 9) to guide their future education. The aim of the tour was to promote career guidance and inspiration, help pupils choose a career path they are well-informed about, allow pupils access to first-hand exploration, encourage pupils to work hard so they can achieve their goals, help pupils make informed decisions about their future careers and to promote networking amongst pupils.
In the morning, the pupils went on a tour a National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) campus and received explanations about the different faculties offered at the institution. This gave the pupils clarity on the various career paths they might want to pursue in the future.
This was followed by a visit to the National Museum where a tour guide walked everyone through the museum, which helped the pupils connect the exhibits to their classroom subjects, such as Social Development Studies, History, and Geography.
Mwate commented that the tour was a great success and the pupils were very happy to participate, which helped fulfil Kwasha Mukwenu’s motto of “one smile at a time.”
