"We have a group up here that makes
A's and R's and maybe a few C's that is
either highly motivated by themselves
or their parents.
'Then we have a group that makes
D'a and F's and a C or two and doesn't

anyone. We don't have 8 large block of
average students' she said.

Ms. Kayes said she encounters
student and parent apathy and a high
percentage of students who are em-
ployed. Kayes sakl parents tell thek children
they want A's and B's and students Who
don't excel give up. She said new
teaching strategies and motivational
techniques could help In the classroom.
Committee members also agreed
that too many high school students are
employed and that their work distracts
them from school.
"Once you lose their attention to the
outside world when they start working
going out and drinking beer all the
time enjoying themselves then you
really have lost their interest in the
educational cycle" said BUI Hayley

committee.

The Namwianga school in operation
since IMS is located on a 8080-acre
farm and ranch and includes grades 8

Primary schools were nationalized In
1964 when Zamiba gained in
dependence. To meet the demand for
education the government has en-
couraged religious groups to establish
secondary schools said Wlllerton.
llamby will be the superintendent of
the school. lie and his wife have
already worked in Namwianga for

Zambia. It te an emerging nation and
"hungry for education" he said.
Much of the Zambian population lives
in rural villages explained Hamby
Although it has a capitol of 400000
people Zambia has only one paved
highway said Hamby.
Hamby said very few Zambians are
able to attend Zambia's one university
or its teacher training colleges.
Namwianga graduates have helped
spread the gospel as well as literacy
said Hamby. These graduates have
started more than 120 churches.
The school is under the oversight of a
board of American church leaders with
Dr. George Benson president emeritus
of Harding University serving as
chairman.
