This was said on Thursday during a motivational talk aimed at encouraging standard eight candidates at Muselema and Chimwemwe primary schools in Chitipa to work hard in order to pass in the coming examinations.

The Director for the organization, Aston Kayange, advised candidates to work hard and be selected to national secondary schools across the country.

Kayange further cautioned girls against the practice of getting married after writing exams which he said damages their future dreams.

"I have told these candidates that whosoever makes it to national secondary school will be awarded different necessities needed during school.

"Let me also caution those learners who decides to drop out of school soon after exams and get married. This is not a good idea and it damages the dreams of being responsible citizens in the future" Kayange said.

Additionally, Kayange further advised teachers that the Foundation will award teachers whom their class learners will perform outstandingly.

Headteacher for Muselema primary school, Sylvester Msukwa, thanked the initiative by the Foundation, saying it will motivate candidates as they write exams.
