The Driving Schools Association of Zambia (DSAZ) has bemoaned the shortage of instructors in driving schools countrywide.
Association President Hope Kasese Kumalo in a statement has blamed the shortage on the fact that there are no institutions that train instructors in the country.
Ms Kumalo says the few instructors available are either self-trained or trained by their employers.
She the DSAZ has asserted that instructors are critical to driving schools and without them the industry cannot tick.
Ms Kumalo says her association appeals to relevant stakeholders to help in responding to the crisis.
Ms Kumalo adds that the Driving Schools Association of Zambia also appeals to government to provide support to driving schools through DSAZN in coming up with a training syllabus to train interested individuals who meet the laid down prerequisite as instructors.
