KK LEGACY IN EDUCATION
We hosted a webinar in collaboration with Mulungushi University in honour of our founding father, Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda, and his legacy in the field of Education.
Education and the teaching profession were the bedrock from which he launched his political career. As First Republican president of Zambia, KK channelled a lot of resources and immense energy towards education. KK is a living embodiment of the versatility of the teaching profession.
Join us for a discussion focusing on aspects of KK’s legacy such as:
1. How did education and the teaching profession personally shape the man?
2. What developments in education did Kaunda lead and what are some of these legacies today?
3. The memorialisation of Kaunda in the education field through our curriculums from primary to tertiary level and in other knowledge spaces like our museums.
4. What is taught at these different levels on our histories in general and Kaunda contribution to this nation specifically?
5. Given that the relevance of history and history teaching increasingly comes under attack, we invite discussion on prospects for history teaching and learning and how we can improve the teaching of histories such as Dr Kenneth Kaunda’s legacies and the history of our nation in general.
The panellists include:
Mutale Mazimba - Kaunda-Historian and Writer
Dr Charity Meki Kombe - Lecturer and Researcher Mulungushi University
Mary Mbewe Mazimba - Lecturer of History
Victoria Phiri Chitungu - Cultural Expert and Curator, National Museums Board of Zambia
