In a speech read on her behalf by Director Department of Vocational Education & Training Muzano Simumba during the official launch of Cavendish University Zambia School of Working Adult Programmes (SWAP), Professor Luo says government is filled with a sense of accomplishment that the conducive policy framework and enabling environment it has put in place to enhance access to quality tertiary education is bearing fruit.
