The DAPP College of Education, established in 2012, has been instrumental in training teachers dedicated to serving rural communities in Zambia. The inaugural graduation in 2014 saw 31 students completing the Zambia Teacher’s Education Course (ZATEC) certificate program.
By 2025, the college celebrated its fifth graduation ceremony, with 42 teachers earning diplomas in primary school teaching.
The institution’s motto, “moulding another kind of a teacher,” reflects its commitment to producing educators equipped to work in underserved areas. While specific details about an alumni network akin to Kingster’s 150,000-strong community are not readily available, the DAPP College’s consistent output of qualified teachers contributes significantly to education in rural Zambia.
As part of the unique training programme the first year students conduct a two month educational tour using the school bus. This tour builds team work, challenges the students to cross boundaries, widen their horizon, trains them to find solutions to obstacles meeting them on the way, teach them to embrace gender equity, to learn from experiences and much more.
