A Rural Youth Perspective from Nkota-Kota, Malawi
“I want to understand the criteria for selecting the 250 Community Day Secondary Schools (CDSS) that will be constructed across the country. This is because Nkhota-kota is one of the districts that have very few CDSSs with other areas, Traditional Authorities not having even one CDSS e.g. Lupachi area. Still, Nkhota-kota has not yet benefited from this program as the first and second phases have been completed, and I would like to know if my district will benefit from this program moving forward.”
