On 4 February 2025, a delegation of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Petauke, Zambia, attended a special event where the Minister of Education, Mr Douglas Syakalima, visited the Eastern Province. The purpose of the visit was to commend the province for its outstanding academic achievements, specifically the first-place ranking of the province in both Grade 9 and Grade 12 exams among 60 to 70 schools in the region. During this event, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Petauke was invited to the stage to be recognised for its exceptional contributions to education. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Secondary School’s dedication to academic excellence was applauded by the Minister and other dignitaries present. My humble self presented the Minister with a gift of a copy of the Holy Quran and the book World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace and introduced the Minister to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, highlighting its dedication to promoting peace, education and community service.
