The Ministry of Education (MoE) has made great strides to improve access and equity among learners in primary schools. Efforts are now being put in place to ensure improvement in education quality by raising learner performance to acceptable levels by the end of primary schools. This is being achieved by implementing the Zambia Education Curriculum Framework of 2013 through which learners will acquire Functional Literacy and Numeracy Skills.
The Teachers' Guide is compiled for the Catch Up programme for teaching learners in grades 3 to 5 in zambia who have not yet achieved the numeracy and literacy skills required in their grades.
