Minister of Education Bright Msaka said the initiative is designed to address long-standing transport challenges that education advisors face when visiting schools, particularly in rural and hard-to-reach areas.

According to Msaka, the motorcycles will significantly improve efficiency by enabling advisors to visit up to three schools per day, a target that has often been difficult to achieve due to mobility constraints. He noted that increased supervision will directly contribute to improved teaching standards and overall academic performance.
