THIRTY-FIVE members of the Lupane State University management, including council members, senior managers and workers’ representatives, have graduated from the Chitepo School of Ideology after completing a week-long ideological orientation programme.
The programme sought to equip the university leadership with an understanding of Zimbabwe’s history, the liberation struggle, national development priorities and the role of institutions in implementing Government policies and national programmes.
It also covered issues relating to national identity, culture, communication, international relations, defence and security.
Lupane State University Vice-Chancellor Professor Padorn Kuipa said the training had helped the university leadership appreciate its role in implementing national policies and resolutions.
“We now understand as management that, in a way, we are an extension of Government and also an extension of the party,” he said. Resolutions are promulgated by the party, and it is us who carry out those resolutions to fruition.”
