Speaker 3 (02:36):

because I think there are a lot of alex Is
out there.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, so what was it? Were you born as Alex
or Alexander or along the way?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You just want managed to change no, Actually, I was
born as Alexander. I'm a junior. My father was Alexander.
So yes, was giving me when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
So you're the Alexander the second.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Alexander the second.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, nice, reminds me of those kings, of those of
modern days.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Okay, Alexander the Great.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, we are seeing great things in
your sir. Yeah, just tell us about signing the university
where you are waking now, what is your current occupation
or opposition, and just a little bit about in the
(03:35):
university so that we get to know this university a
bit more better.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Okay, thank you very much. So, like you have said,
my name's are mister Alexander Temble and my position is
a senior tutor signing the under the NAS department. So
speaking yeah, yeah, yes, no, the thing the world is changed.
(04:00):
Oh yeah, we are taking over. We are taking over.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yes. So signing the university began as a college. So
it began back then in twenty nineteen. Yes, so we
were offering some skill for courses. Yes. Then as time
went by we developed into a university. That was in
(04:27):
twenty twenty one, so in January, in January twenty twenty one,
we had started pushing for our license for NMCSZ in
which at that period of time we got accredited with
nmcs IT. Then July twenty twenty one, we had our
first INTECH that recently graduated in October last year with
(04:51):
a past percentage of fifty four percent. Then the previous
INTACH that finished in November last year graduated with a
pass mark of seventy four percent. Then for the last exams,
we're still waiting on the publication of results, but we
are hoping for a good past percentage since we are
(05:14):
improving improving.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I can see the improvement from fifty four percent
to seventy four percent pass rate. Yes, I think there
was a good jump of about twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, Now, what.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
What does this mean to the university? This improvement in
terms of the pass rate from fifty four percent to
seventy four percent.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Okay, So this simply intels to say we looked at
some of the weaknesses that we had as a university
and we had to sit down and look at the
gaps and worked on them. Then it really helped in
some way because twenty percent was achieved and we sit
(06:00):
down again look at that and probably next time would
produce one hundred percent. Yes, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
No, just just also riding on that because I am
looking at the Zambian market share in terms of universities
coming up the also issues of finding jobs and things
like that. So as a university, because we are looking
(06:31):
at seventy percent, so this is seventy four percent over
seventy four percent of your students who have passed. Yes,
how are you preparing them for the real world after university?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
After university? Of course, like you have said, the train
right now, there are a lot of nations we are unemployed.
I won't lie about that. It's tough out there when
you are done with your education. But like we have said,
looking at the past percentagent or maybe the private institutions
(07:05):
when they look at your papers, maybe you're coming from
this university which is well to do, we will stand
the higher chance of being employed at that particular facility.
Looking at where you trained from, because we are now
looking at this patients who got a right skill, a
very good skill from good trained universal reservations. Yes, okay, yes, interesting, okay.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Looking at so you may focus like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
One was missing twenty nineteen. No, twenty nineteen, that's when
we were college. Yes, then from twenty twenty one, that's
when Nissin began.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
What other programs do you offer?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Okay, So we've got the School of Wealthy Sciences and
the School of Business. So when it comes to the
School of Wealthy Sciences, we've got clinical medicine and as well.
Then we also offer some short courses because we are
credited with z CC so so they cycled social conseling.
(08:09):
There's a Healthy Care Assistant as well. Then when you
go to the School of Business, we've got MBA and
we've got BBA as well, so we're both offering a
master's and a degree in Business administration. Yes. Then we
also have it courses yes.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yes, So how has been the past rate on peace
as like we talked aboutnessing? No, how has it been
with the courses like the ones for.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Business, the ones for business. Okay, so the pastorate has
been quite overwhelming. I believe last year we all that's
when we were the first intake that graduated under bachelor's. Yes,
it was quite a number. The outcome was quite cool.
We had a lot of numbers.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay, Yes, let's let's let's talk about you a little
bit even before we go into the academia and what
the okay, what the product the produce of the university? Okay,
Like I had mentioned from from the onsets, you look relatively.
(09:23):
I think most of you of your age would want
to go for some sort of a white collar job.
The world of academia is usually regarded as as a
course or as as as a profession for the old
or what what? What? What veted you to join the
academics the world of academia?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Okay. So, to be honest, I wasn't a public speaker myself. Yes,
so when I got into university, I had a challenge
with presentations because I couldn't stand in front of a
crowded resent. But there came a time during our course
(10:03):
you had to do teaching practice. So I was exposed
to that kind of life, because whether you like it
or not, you have to do teaching practice. So from
there I gained my inspiration from the people who were
coaching us and from the student themselves. The response was
very good. So every time I stood in front of
these students and delivered what I wanted to deliver, it
(10:26):
was it was it received a very good feedback, so
I startied getting interested in. Yeah, I ended up finding
myself where I am now.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
So you never had any hope of working in the
hospital before moving house.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
No, I actually never had hope of being a lecture. Yes,
I thought when I'm done, I would be attached to
a healthy facility forever. Okay, but there comes a time. Hey,
it was a call and I answered, let me go.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes, Yes, I was been in your stay here at
the university from since you joined in twenty twenty two. Yes,
I has been your stay.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
My stair has been quite good because when I came in,
I just came in as a clinical instructor when I
joined in twenty twenty two, so I was just attached
to the skills lab. I was looking at every student,
was doing attachments, going at the clinics. I was handling
all that then through my headwork because I've always produced
(11:32):
a hundred past week when it comes to OSCY.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Oh okay firstain.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, So through my headwork. That's when I was elevated
to the Senior Tutor's office. Then I was also now
attached to several classes. So now I was doing both
now being in class and offering that guidance to the
students in the skills lab, and my stair has been
(12:01):
quite very nice. I might say, I've learnt a lot
since the time I joined signing the university.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yes, okay, so your stay here. Let's also look at
the the number of students you have and the type
of students. What type of students do you attract as
a university here?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Okay, so the number of students, they are always above
one fifty, I say, yes, one fifty. So you find
a class of a number of thirty thirty five? Yes,
just like that. Then when it comes to their attraction,
(12:48):
I might not be confined to say we attract such
kind of students because I think it's broad. We've got
different types of students, so I I don't know I
can answer that question, sir. But we attract all kinds
of students, I might say, okay, yes, and.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
How are you helping them in their academic genuine that's
a wide range of students coming because most of the
students we have are coming from different backgrounds. Yes, especially
if the others are even their scholars and everything else. Yes,
how do you motivate them as the university so that
(13:31):
they keep going in their academic journey and then for
them to also just reach those academic goals they have set.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yes, thank you very much. That's a very good question. So,
like you have said, these students are coming from different
different backgrounds. Some well to do some there were a
lot of challenges it financially even mentally. So we've got
to cancel in corner at this at this university where
students come through never they have different types of problems
(14:02):
and we handle them like that. So they are canceled
on different types of stuff, including academic and just the
lifestyle that they have to undertake. So when they choose
this career, most of them they just think, no, I'm
just going to do nothing, our bing and all that.
(14:24):
But when you look at nessin is a noble career.
So when you come here, there's in foundation. There are
some courses that are known as professional practice. So under
professional practice, this is a course that is going to
change a student who has coming in without any knowledge
of what they want to become. So you're going to
(14:47):
put in that professionalism and what is expected for them
to do and not to do it. We're going to
to tell them about the arts and certain things that
they have to follow. So at the end of the day,
you will find that even if you are coming from
a different home or a different community, you have the
(15:07):
same mindset and you have the same vision. Then for
students who have challenges in terms of finances, the Accounts
Department has got a flexible way of helping them. They
are what we call payment plans where you're just want
to tell them to say no me, I'm having such
a challenge. Then they will help in such a manner
(15:29):
that you will be paying your youtution fees partly. Then
there's all. There are also brotheries that we offer for
different students, so that helps them in such a way.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Okay, interesting, interesting, and I think it's it's quite innovative
for for for the university to help the students in
that area. And I think when one important area also
we we noted that the university is helping students is
(16:00):
also about their growth in terms of knowledge sharing between
other institutions. And I say that because you were one
of the participants of the Smart twenty four quiz which
was hosted by Elitra Smart Medical Supplies Limited last year
at Government Complex in Osaka, and you were the resounding
(16:24):
winners of that of that quiz. Yes, let's just go
back to twenty twenty four. Let's just go back to
last year. How was the experience? What motivated you as
the university first a register and wanting to participate at
a smart twenty four?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
All right, So it all started with our prince for tutor,
mister Sampa. So mister Sampa head about the quiz. Then
he actually told me about to say there's a quiz
which is coming on. I think we are supposed to
participate in the squeeze and we're equal to the task.
(17:04):
So when I hit that at face, I had had
brushed it off. Then I was so serious about it
that I actually saw it to say, no, he's got
a vision on this. Maybe we should do something about it. Yes,
So in the process he pushed I didn't push for that.
He pushed for everything. So the later the invitation, it
(17:25):
was all him. Then I had to jump in now
on the selection of the students, the coaching of the students,
the guiding of the students. Until that day when the
day arrived, we had found ourselves at the Push complex.
Government Government, Government Complex. Yeah, we were there. Then we
(17:47):
were so different universities coming in. Then you know they're
coming with this you know, this lecture as they there,
honest there just looking at wow with my team, what.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Were you expecting before before reaching the competition, I was.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Just expecting to find a few people because from the
invitation it was it actually stated to say one tutor,
then three participants and the supporting team. So that's exactly
the people that I came with. So looking at these
other schools they came in with you knows, yes, they've
got all these students. Then I was just I was
(18:24):
just they were looking like, wow, okay, we're going to
do this. But deep down I knew to say, no,
the team that I brought here, this is a very
powerful team, and the training that we went through, we'll
get us there. So yes, we reached. I remember there
was even a school which was kind of lost with
where we were supposed to participate from. So they came
(18:46):
asking to say I also participated. I told them to say, actually,
we're here to win, that's not here participate. Then they
just looked at us just like that. Then when the
queens was all done, like oh you said, he mentioned
to say they win. So that was a very very
good experience. For me and from the school I trained from.
(19:10):
It was participating as well. Yes, I was facing a
school that trained me with some mentors.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yes, I'm there.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I'm like, wow, is this really happened?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Me?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
And madam what what there?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You see?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Then I happened to to scope the the price and
so for me that was a very very big molestone. Yes.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
How did that experience mean for the students?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
For the students, Wow, for the students, it's okay, it was.
It was interesting in such a way that even them
they couldn't believe that they were there together with the
supporting team. They couldn't believe that they were there. So
it really motivated them and it helped them even in
(20:04):
improving into their academics moving forward, because those people who
were on the pianet this were actually some of the
best graduating students during our graduation, so it prompted them
to wake even harder.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yes, So since you came aut face looking at so
many universities and you know the nature it is there,
private schools, government schools, and you've been a private school
at school like the face position, how has that benefited
your school?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It has benefited the school in numerous ways. Okay. In
terms of marketing, I remember the marketing director just following
me and just telling me, Wow, that thing that you
did brought a lot of numbers to our page okay,
and from our office we were receiving students okay. So
(20:59):
when it came to when it came to recruiting, we
had a very big turn up. And during that period
of time, okay, that's when NMC said, by then they
didn't ban the no, not the fifty fifty, but they
didn't ban the transfer, the transfering thing. Yes, so the
transfering thing was still there. So we would see now
(21:20):
people now coming in from different universities coming on transfer,
you know, so you we don't even realize. So you're
just getting the paper I'm coming and to get a transfer,
this and this. Then they would even talk about the
quiz to say congratulations. By the way, we saw you
even want the odds. Then it just spiked in my
head to say, oh, so that thing is now bringing
(21:42):
these students. So that's how much interest actually helped us
when we scoped this trophy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Interesting, yes, now that you're defending champions like he's supposed
to defend the trophy.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yes, looking at it.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
This year, it's going to be a national.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes, how prepared are you? I'm telling you we have
been preparing because I've been following your page almost every day.
I'm seeing these schools having that, you know, eger of
waiting for for for the event to come and take place.
I can tell to say, okay, there's a lot of
(22:22):
heat which is coming. When I look at the list
of schools that have actually registered to be.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Quite a number.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, So that gives us a lot of homework as
they defending champions to say, hey, we really have to
do everything in our power so that we may defend
our trophy. And I believe we're equal to the task.
We're going to do everything that we can to become victorious. Again.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Interesting, now let's let's I'm interested about last year or
so even before, as we speak about this year's preparation,
you are preparing. How were you as a person responsible
preparing your students for this massive competition, Because yeah, you're preparing.
(23:08):
You've got government complex. You reach, you find the audience
is filled up. You are thinking it's a small audience,
but you look at the entire auditorium it's filled up
to capacity. Yes, and you are about to compete for
the for the for the quiz. Yes, what school first?
Were you were you scared of?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
In school? Was I scared of? Did you think? Okay?
So I saw APEX there and I saw sc SAT.
Looks like these are schools which have got a very
good reputation it comes to delivery of these academics there. Yeah,
(23:52):
those were the most uh challenging schools that I saw, Like, okay,
these ones are going to give us a tough time.
But funny enough, it was signarch that that turned.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Out to be giving them a tough time.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yes, yes, right too.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, no, thank you very much. So remember this podcast
is being sponsored by Literals. Matt Medical Supply is limited,
your number one provider of health care attire. So if
you're an institution looking for uniforms for your nieces your students,
elit Matt the best company to go to. Another interesting
(24:27):
question to to discuss is how well now you are preparing?
And I asked about the how you prepared that it
was the experience and everything else, But how are you
preparing your students now? She mentioned it's a national national
quiz and actually the quizers has attracted quite a number
(24:52):
of schools from each and every province. Every province is
specialism MUCHINGA did much p to? I think we're just
remaining with muchina. Did they manage to push in this one?
There's one, so that means every province is being represented.
Some has one, so that's one.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Whatever happens, meaning it's.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Representing the reversion of finger province. Yeah, so Alex, we
are talking about a national event. This has been planned
massively well to be hosted that the levy Mana was
a medical university and I think that's from the eighth,
(25:39):
ninth and tenth of October. How well are you preparing
signing their university student nurses for this prestigious national press.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Okay, so the strategy that I came up with faced
was I looked at the courses that actually where you
draw the questions from for the quiz. So most of
them begin in second year and say so I had
to balance, so I had to get a second year student.
(26:15):
Then through two are coming from the sage yea, yes,
So these three students waiting hand in hand. So after
lessons of course, you know, go for around sixteen hours
at the university, they remain behind. Then I provide them
with a lot of questions from different courses that they
(26:38):
will be questioned on. Then a guidances are given where
they find challenges, because once you provide them with those questions,
they sit down as a group and they start discussing
where they find challenges. They would actually come through so
that I tell them to say, no, these are the answers,
are like this, this, this, So how you tackle these
such questions is in such a way and such a
(27:02):
way then online as well, because mostly during the day
I'm in class, I'm doing office week. Then afterwards, Now
somewhere around eighteen nineteen were the session with them on
Google meet where they were just joined and interrupt in
such a manner.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Interesting, And I think today when we are doing we
are doing part of these meetings. And the most idea
of the smart Quiz is what I think is in
there was doing because it's check us down to a
student being radio academically, being prepared for exams, actually even
(27:44):
being prepared for actual practical week. Because what the quiz
does is it doesn't just end at an academic battle,
but it goes beyond the students and preparing them to
for the final exams exactly. Yes, And how how would
you say the quiz last year impacted the students participation
(28:09):
and overall results in their academic results and exams.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yes, so, like I said earlier, to say, even when
those participants were participating were having their graduations, of course
you'll be giving ours to say the best student and
what what what? It was fine to that it was
seen to say that those same students are the ones
(28:36):
that even scooked those hours during graduation. So you could
tell to say, okay, this they were moved and this
quiz actually contributed to that.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
So the same the same students that's participated in this
Master Went four quiz won awards during the graduation exactly.
That means that they performed better than extremely interesting.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
They're over prepared.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
They're over prepared, Yeah, because of the tremendous efforts you're
put in. And of course, without doubt, I think we
should expect that percentage from the fifty four seventy fourth
to someone now someone on.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Talking about and oh yes, yeah average as well. We
even removed and like I've said, we've been recording.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Such no, no, no ten that is is a professional innescentce.
She she knows these questions. Well, yes, last year she
had all the answers. Okay, yeah, you can talk to us.
She has all the answers and the questions.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Now other questions have because so just read what's in
and then you'll be able to get everything correct.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Okay, that's what they tell us exactly, just that it
was in the books.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That's what's coming.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
You don't you don't want to be that. I will
tell you not focus on at unit's nine.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Now that we are looking.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
At the match the five quiz. So what advice or
what benefits do you think this march, this smart piece
has on the studios and on differenties.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Okay, on different universities. I'll start with the universities. I
might say the publicity that we have talked about because
even this the podcasts for us, for us to appear
on your page, of course, you've got a good following
and that so it gives your the university that face. Okay,
(30:39):
you will be known. Like you said, it's national. Okay,
so if I'm here right now and this will be published,
it means it's I'm national. So even for the university,
it is going national. So all those participating in universities
will be given that privilege. And for the student part.
Like we have said, all those students that are involved
(31:00):
in these squeezes, they tend to perform extremely well when
it comes to academics. And one of the advices that
I can give even as you are preparing these students,
you shouldn't just focus on the finalists, Okay, you can
also involve those who are interested to say you can
come through even as they are preparing. You can see
it will also help them in their growth academically academical.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yes, and just and that we were interviewing we had
the charts on the podcast with we invited the chief
executive officer for Eleterra Smart Missterm Sonda. He mentioned was
just reminded because you mentioned that this goes national, it
might interest you again to know that this actually goes
(31:44):
beyond Zambia.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, because yeah, it goes beyond Zambia. Because from the
interaction we had with Missterm Sounda, he had mentioned that
actually from the people watch the podcast, we are from
others from South Africa, Allowana, Zimbabwe and you interest oh
(32:07):
yes in the.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Quiz okay plan for them? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
International? Who might know if you defend your trophy, you
you might represent Zambias as a team to to to
play or to debate or or quiz internationally. Great, that
would be great just as well. How are you preparing
your student for the Smarts twenty five. It's a big event,
(32:41):
we nicely executed, believe you mean, it's a three day event,
bigger than what we saw last ye, yes, yes, massive,
and we are going to to have a lot of
stakeholders who are going to come throughout that event. How
well are you preparing in your students to ensure that
(33:02):
you got this? Oh, this is the trophy you want? Yes, lovely,
this is the trophy ladies and gentlemen, the defending champions
Sannydale University, presented by Eliteral Smart Medical Supplies Limited, of course,
the main main hosts and organizers of the Nationalist March
twenty five quiz, of course, being quizzed by the nursing students,
(33:27):
those ones from across the country. How are you preparing
your students for you to depend this trophy?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Okay? Of course, when you look at the quiz the way,
the way you carried out, it's got some rules that
these students have to actually follow. Therefore, so far since
this was announced, we've had about two sessions of quizes
just within the campus. Yes, this intake against this in tach.
(34:02):
So that gives them the vibe of what they're supposed
to expect when we when we go there for the
quiz and the rules. Of course, maybe you're not supposed
to answer before the question is is fully read. Yes,
So you run them through like that. By doing that,
you're actually causing some awareness in them to say, Okay,
(34:24):
I'm where I'm going, I'm supposed to carry myself like this,
I'm supposed to follow one or two three like that? Yes,
then even psychological Okay, so you just sit them down
and tell them to say, where you're going, You're going
to see all of the cloud, a lot of students,
a lot of lecturers, and these these big people. So
(34:46):
psychologically by telling them that, you are preparing them because
when they reach there, they won't be surprised, won't be
shivering because they knew to say, when we go there,
this is what we this is what is expected.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Of them, expected to me different people. Yes, yes, yes,
haven't you thought of calling out another school? So just
have your mini queize between new schools involved?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Okay, so a national case. Okay, that sounds like a
good idea. I think I'm going to send it to
the Prince for tutors so that you can just draft
it and maybe invite them. That would do what that
would do us good? Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So which school this year? Are you scared of?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Which school? Okay, let me say I'm not scared of
any school. Yes, I'm not scared of any school this year.
But there are a lot of schools that I involved there.
Some I don't even know them, some I know them.
So am I not say I'm really scared. I was
scared in thematch twenty four quiz when I saw all
this O PA. Yes, but we proved ourselves wrong by winning.
(35:59):
So this time, and I don't think I might have
that vege of saying, Okay, I'm scared of that school.
I'm scared of that school because anything can happen.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Okay, Yes, So by looking at how how we're trying
to prepare your students and so we hope you defend.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Your it's yes, we hope.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
So you're the best.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Thank you, So, mister Tambo.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Just a quick wait for our viewers. This should be
an advisory student and anss in schools diamight have not
participated in this twenty five quiz, does you have time?
We can prepare. They can either join now or they
can join mixtyar So what advice would you give them?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Okay? So I will start with with the schools. For
those who have not registered, is it's still open it yes? Okay.
So for those that have not yet registered, I would
advise you to to register. So this quiz gives us
a platform of integrating with different unif these it is, okay,
(37:01):
So we all learn from from each other. So if
you register, you you are going to experience an experience
that you you wouldn't get if you don't participate, okay,
So you will learn one or two things. Then when
it comes to the students, like I've said, those students
that happen to participate in this quize, it helps them
(37:23):
in their academic growth. So for the universities, it's very
hard now that they have to participate in this squeze
as it will help their students grow academically. Then the
other one you said, students the schools okay, yes, and
the viewers yes yes. And for the viewers there are
(37:44):
some tickets that have been sought. I'm taught. Of course,
the school cannot get everyone and the community at large,
So would go upon the different people just to purchase
the tickets that e Literas match is actually selling, so
that you can and be part of this experience, even
for people who have already graduated. People awaking. I mean
(38:06):
you're the one who handle our students, especially when we
bring them to the wards and oh so I'm just
going up all of them to just come on board
and purchase the tickets and be part of this experience.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Interesting that you had prepared five tickets for them they're
defending champions. Yes, yeah, Alex, you have some five tickets
for your other spectators. But of course just make sure
the university to buy his more tickets for so that
(38:39):
you increase.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
You need numbers, then definitely number all management, So getting
tickets for everyone students.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
The auditorium capacity is one thousand and and and if
you have small numbers, you will be overpowered by other
universities are going to quite huge numbers then, so make
sure you goose tickets from editrous matt and of course
those ones who might want to access.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
T shirts that's wearing.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Oh much plenty five? Where's mine?
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Yeah, where's mine?
Speaker 2 (39:13):

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Oh yeah, I'll get them through me. Now talk to
you nicely.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
Yeah, this is Eligious. Mad Limited uses the sacasts so
much patter and key and grab yourself these t shirts
and also the tickets that are going for seventy five
quartures for a day and one fifty for three days.
That's on the tickets and then we put for VIP
tickets two fifty for a day and five hundred and.
Speaker 2 (39:45):

Speaker 4 (39:46):
Three days, so big and March and five christ It's
going to be a big event.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Oh yeah, no, it will be a very big event.
And the university says they are ready to defend their trophy.
They are the reigning champions and they won because they
won the Smart twenty four quiz, and of course I
was Smart expanded the quiz to making it a national
event quiz. So now they defend this trophy. With over
(40:15):
twenty schools now participating, we are expecting a number of
about fifty schools to participate in this national quiz. Will
your school be a participant of this quiz? We're signing
their university to defend their trophy. H will you grab
it from them? They said they were scared of Apex
and Saint Luke last year. Will send looks and Appex

out there.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, so what was it? Were you born as Alex
or Alexander or along the way?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You just want managed to change no, Actually, I was
born as Alexander. I'm a junior. My father was Alexander.
So yes, was giving me when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
So you're the Alexander the second.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Alexander the second.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, nice, reminds me of those kings, of those of
modern days.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Okay, Alexander the Great.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, we are seeing great things in
your sir. Yeah, just tell us about signing the university
where you are waking now, what is your current occupation
or opposition, and just a little bit about in the
(03:35):
university so that we get to know this university a
bit more better.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Okay, thank you very much. So, like you have said,
my name's are mister Alexander Temble and my position is
a senior tutor signing the under the NAS department. So
speaking yeah, yeah, yes, no, the thing the world is changed.
(04:00):
Oh yeah, we are taking over. We are taking over.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yes. So signing the university began as a college. So
it began back then in twenty nineteen. Yes, so we
were offering some skill for courses. Yes. Then as time
went by we developed into a university. That was in
(04:27):
twenty twenty one, so in January, in January twenty twenty one,
we had started pushing for our license for NMCSZ in
which at that period of time we got accredited with
nmcs IT. Then July twenty twenty one, we had our
first INTECH that recently graduated in October last year with
(04:51):
a past percentage of fifty four percent. Then the previous
INTACH that finished in November last year graduated with a
pass mark of seventy four percent. Then for the last exams,
we're still waiting on the publication of results, but we
are hoping for a good past percentage since we are
(05:14):
improving improving.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I can see the improvement from fifty four percent
to seventy four percent pass rate. Yes, I think there
was a good jump of about twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, Now, what.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
What does this mean to the university? This improvement in
terms of the pass rate from fifty four percent to
seventy four percent.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Okay, So this simply intels to say we looked at
some of the weaknesses that we had as a university
and we had to sit down and look at the
gaps and worked on them. Then it really helped in
some way because twenty percent was achieved and we sit
(06:00):
down again look at that and probably next time would
produce one hundred percent. Yes, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
No, just just also riding on that because I am
looking at the Zambian market share in terms of universities
coming up the also issues of finding jobs and things
like that. So as a university, because we are looking
(06:31):
at seventy percent, so this is seventy four percent over
seventy four percent of your students who have passed. Yes,
how are you preparing them for the real world after university?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
After university? Of course, like you have said, the train
right now, there are a lot of nations we are unemployed.
I won't lie about that. It's tough out there when
you are done with your education. But like we have said,
looking at the past percentagent or maybe the private institutions
(07:05):
when they look at your papers, maybe you're coming from
this university which is well to do, we will stand
the higher chance of being employed at that particular facility.
Looking at where you trained from, because we are now
looking at this patients who got a right skill, a
very good skill from good trained universal reservations. Yes, okay, yes, interesting, okay.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Looking at so you may focus like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
One was missing twenty nineteen. No, twenty nineteen, that's when
we were college. Yes, then from twenty twenty one, that's
when Nissin began.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
What other programs do you offer?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Okay, So we've got the School of Wealthy Sciences and
the School of Business. So when it comes to the
School of Wealthy Sciences, we've got clinical medicine and as well.
Then we also offer some short courses because we are
credited with z CC so so they cycled social conseling.
(08:09):
There's a Healthy Care Assistant as well. Then when you
go to the School of Business, we've got MBA and
we've got BBA as well, so we're both offering a
master's and a degree in Business administration. Yes. Then we
also have it courses yes.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yes, So how has been the past rate on peace
as like we talked aboutnessing? No, how has it been
with the courses like the ones for.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Business, the ones for business. Okay, so the pastorate has
been quite overwhelming. I believe last year we all that's
when we were the first intake that graduated under bachelor's. Yes,
it was quite a number. The outcome was quite cool.
We had a lot of numbers.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay, Yes, let's let's let's talk about you a little
bit even before we go into the academia and what
the okay, what the product the produce of the university? Okay,
Like I had mentioned from from the onsets, you look relatively.
(09:23):
I think most of you of your age would want
to go for some sort of a white collar job.
The world of academia is usually regarded as as a
course or as as as a profession for the old
or what what? What? What veted you to join the
academics the world of academia?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Okay. So, to be honest, I wasn't a public speaker myself. Yes,
so when I got into university, I had a challenge
with presentations because I couldn't stand in front of a
crowded resent. But there came a time during our course
(10:03):
you had to do teaching practice. So I was exposed
to that kind of life, because whether you like it
or not, you have to do teaching practice. So from
there I gained my inspiration from the people who were
coaching us and from the student themselves. The response was
very good. So every time I stood in front of
these students and delivered what I wanted to deliver, it
(10:26):
was it was it received a very good feedback, so
I startied getting interested in. Yeah, I ended up finding
myself where I am now.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
So you never had any hope of working in the
hospital before moving house.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
No, I actually never had hope of being a lecture. Yes,
I thought when I'm done, I would be attached to
a healthy facility forever. Okay, but there comes a time. Hey,
it was a call and I answered, let me go.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes, Yes, I was been in your stay here at
the university from since you joined in twenty twenty two. Yes,
I has been your stay.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
My stair has been quite good because when I came in,
I just came in as a clinical instructor when I
joined in twenty twenty two, so I was just attached
to the skills lab. I was looking at every student,
was doing attachments, going at the clinics. I was handling
all that then through my headwork because I've always produced
(11:32):
a hundred past week when it comes to OSCY.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Oh okay firstain.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, So through my headwork. That's when I was elevated
to the Senior Tutor's office. Then I was also now
attached to several classes. So now I was doing both
now being in class and offering that guidance to the
students in the skills lab, and my stair has been
(12:01):
quite very nice. I might say, I've learnt a lot
since the time I joined signing the university.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yes, okay, so your stay here. Let's also look at
the the number of students you have and the type
of students. What type of students do you attract as
a university here?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Okay, so the number of students, they are always above
one fifty, I say, yes, one fifty. So you find
a class of a number of thirty thirty five? Yes,
just like that. Then when it comes to their attraction,
(12:48):
I might not be confined to say we attract such
kind of students because I think it's broad. We've got
different types of students, so I I don't know I
can answer that question, sir. But we attract all kinds
of students, I might say, okay, yes, and.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
How are you helping them in their academic genuine that's
a wide range of students coming because most of the
students we have are coming from different backgrounds. Yes, especially
if the others are even their scholars and everything else. Yes,
how do you motivate them as the university so that
(13:31):
they keep going in their academic journey and then for
them to also just reach those academic goals they have set.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yes, thank you very much. That's a very good question. So,
like you have said, these students are coming from different
different backgrounds. Some well to do some there were a
lot of challenges it financially even mentally. So we've got
to cancel in corner at this at this university where
students come through never they have different types of problems
(14:02):
and we handle them like that. So they are canceled
on different types of stuff, including academic and just the
lifestyle that they have to undertake. So when they choose
this career, most of them they just think, no, I'm
just going to do nothing, our bing and all that.
(14:24):
But when you look at nessin is a noble career.
So when you come here, there's in foundation. There are
some courses that are known as professional practice. So under
professional practice, this is a course that is going to
change a student who has coming in without any knowledge
of what they want to become. So you're going to
(14:47):
put in that professionalism and what is expected for them
to do and not to do it. We're going to
to tell them about the arts and certain things that
they have to follow. So at the end of the day,
you will find that even if you are coming from
a different home or a different community, you have the
(15:07):
same mindset and you have the same vision. Then for
students who have challenges in terms of finances, the Accounts
Department has got a flexible way of helping them. They
are what we call payment plans where you're just want
to tell them to say no me, I'm having such
a challenge. Then they will help in such a manner
(15:29):
that you will be paying your youtution fees partly. Then
there's all. There are also brotheries that we offer for
different students, so that helps them in such a way.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Okay, interesting, interesting, and I think it's it's quite innovative
for for for the university to help the students in
that area. And I think when one important area also
we we noted that the university is helping students is
(16:00):
also about their growth in terms of knowledge sharing between
other institutions. And I say that because you were one
of the participants of the Smart twenty four quiz which
was hosted by Elitra Smart Medical Supplies Limited last year
at Government Complex in Osaka, and you were the resounding
(16:24):
winners of that of that quiz. Yes, let's just go
back to twenty twenty four. Let's just go back to
last year. How was the experience? What motivated you as
the university first a register and wanting to participate at
a smart twenty four?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
All right, So it all started with our prince for tutor,
mister Sampa. So mister Sampa head about the quiz. Then
he actually told me about to say there's a quiz
which is coming on. I think we are supposed to
participate in the squeeze and we're equal to the task.
(17:04):
So when I hit that at face, I had had
brushed it off. Then I was so serious about it
that I actually saw it to say, no, he's got
a vision on this. Maybe we should do something about it. Yes,
So in the process he pushed I didn't push for that.
He pushed for everything. So the later the invitation, it
(17:25):
was all him. Then I had to jump in now
on the selection of the students, the coaching of the students,
the guiding of the students. Until that day when the
day arrived, we had found ourselves at the Push complex.
Government Government, Government Complex. Yeah, we were there. Then we
(17:47):
were so different universities coming in. Then you know they're
coming with this you know, this lecture as they there,
honest there just looking at wow with my team, what.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Were you expecting before before reaching the competition, I was.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Just expecting to find a few people because from the
invitation it was it actually stated to say one tutor,
then three participants and the supporting team. So that's exactly
the people that I came with. So looking at these
other schools they came in with you knows, yes, they've
got all these students. Then I was just I was
(18:24):
just they were looking like, wow, okay, we're going to
do this. But deep down I knew to say, no,
the team that I brought here, this is a very
powerful team, and the training that we went through, we'll
get us there. So yes, we reached. I remember there
was even a school which was kind of lost with
where we were supposed to participate from. So they came
(18:46):
asking to say I also participated. I told them to say, actually,
we're here to win, that's not here participate. Then they
just looked at us just like that. Then when the
queens was all done, like oh you said, he mentioned
to say they win. So that was a very very
good experience. For me and from the school I trained from.
(19:10):
It was participating as well. Yes, I was facing a
school that trained me with some mentors.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yes, I'm there.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I'm like, wow, is this really happened?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Me?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
And madam what what there?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You see?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Then I happened to to scope the the price and
so for me that was a very very big molestone. Yes.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
How did that experience mean for the students?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
For the students, Wow, for the students, it's okay, it was.
It was interesting in such a way that even them
they couldn't believe that they were there together with the
supporting team. They couldn't believe that they were there. So
it really motivated them and it helped them even in
(20:04):
improving into their academics moving forward, because those people who
were on the pianet this were actually some of the
best graduating students during our graduation, so it prompted them
to wake even harder.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yes, So since you came aut face looking at so
many universities and you know the nature it is there,
private schools, government schools, and you've been a private school
at school like the face position, how has that benefited
your school?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It has benefited the school in numerous ways. Okay. In
terms of marketing, I remember the marketing director just following
me and just telling me, Wow, that thing that you
did brought a lot of numbers to our page okay,
and from our office we were receiving students okay. So
(20:59):
when it came to when it came to recruiting, we
had a very big turn up. And during that period
of time, okay, that's when NMC said, by then they
didn't ban the no, not the fifty fifty, but they
didn't ban the transfer, the transfering thing. Yes, so the
transfering thing was still there. So we would see now
(21:20):
people now coming in from different universities coming on transfer,
you know, so you we don't even realize. So you're
just getting the paper I'm coming and to get a transfer,
this and this. Then they would even talk about the
quiz to say congratulations. By the way, we saw you
even want the odds. Then it just spiked in my
head to say, oh, so that thing is now bringing
(21:42):
these students. So that's how much interest actually helped us
when we scoped this trophy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Interesting, yes, now that you're defending champions like he's supposed
to defend the trophy.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yes, looking at it.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
This year, it's going to be a national.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes, how prepared are you? I'm telling you we have
been preparing because I've been following your page almost every day.
I'm seeing these schools having that, you know, eger of
waiting for for for the event to come and take place.
I can tell to say, okay, there's a lot of
(22:22):
heat which is coming. When I look at the list
of schools that have actually registered to be.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Quite a number.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, So that gives us a lot of homework as
they defending champions to say, hey, we really have to
do everything in our power so that we may defend
our trophy. And I believe we're equal to the task.
We're going to do everything that we can to become victorious. Again.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Interesting, now let's let's I'm interested about last year or
so even before, as we speak about this year's preparation,
you are preparing. How were you as a person responsible
preparing your students for this massive competition, Because yeah, you're preparing.
(23:08):
You've got government complex. You reach, you find the audience
is filled up. You are thinking it's a small audience,
but you look at the entire auditorium it's filled up
to capacity. Yes, and you are about to compete for
the for the for the quiz. Yes, what school first?
Were you were you scared of?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
In school? Was I scared of? Did you think? Okay?
So I saw APEX there and I saw sc SAT.
Looks like these are schools which have got a very
good reputation it comes to delivery of these academics there. Yeah,
(23:52):
those were the most uh challenging schools that I saw, Like, okay,
these ones are going to give us a tough time.
But funny enough, it was signarch that that turned.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Out to be giving them a tough time.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yes, yes, right too.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, no, thank you very much. So remember this podcast
is being sponsored by Literals. Matt Medical Supply is limited,
your number one provider of health care attire. So if
you're an institution looking for uniforms for your nieces your students,
elit Matt the best company to go to. Another interesting
(24:27):
question to to discuss is how well now you are preparing?
And I asked about the how you prepared that it
was the experience and everything else, But how are you
preparing your students now? She mentioned it's a national national
quiz and actually the quizers has attracted quite a number
(24:52):
of schools from each and every province. Every province is
specialism MUCHINGA did much p to? I think we're just
remaining with muchina. Did they manage to push in this one?
There's one, so that means every province is being represented.
Some has one, so that's one.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Whatever happens, meaning it's.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Representing the reversion of finger province. Yeah, so Alex, we
are talking about a national event. This has been planned
massively well to be hosted that the levy Mana was
a medical university and I think that's from the eighth,
(25:39):
ninth and tenth of October. How well are you preparing
signing their university student nurses for this prestigious national press.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Okay, so the strategy that I came up with faced
was I looked at the courses that actually where you
draw the questions from for the quiz. So most of
them begin in second year and say so I had
to balance, so I had to get a second year student.
(26:15):
Then through two are coming from the sage yea, yes,
So these three students waiting hand in hand. So after
lessons of course, you know, go for around sixteen hours
at the university, they remain behind. Then I provide them
with a lot of questions from different courses that they
(26:38):
will be questioned on. Then a guidances are given where
they find challenges, because once you provide them with those questions,
they sit down as a group and they start discussing
where they find challenges. They would actually come through so
that I tell them to say, no, these are the answers,
are like this, this, this, So how you tackle these
such questions is in such a way and such a
(27:02):
way then online as well, because mostly during the day
I'm in class, I'm doing office week. Then afterwards, Now
somewhere around eighteen nineteen were the session with them on
Google meet where they were just joined and interrupt in
such a manner.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Interesting, And I think today when we are doing we
are doing part of these meetings. And the most idea
of the smart Quiz is what I think is in
there was doing because it's check us down to a
student being radio academically, being prepared for exams, actually even
(27:44):
being prepared for actual practical week. Because what the quiz
does is it doesn't just end at an academic battle,
but it goes beyond the students and preparing them to
for the final exams exactly. Yes, And how how would
you say the quiz last year impacted the students participation
(28:09):
and overall results in their academic results and exams.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yes, so, like I said earlier, to say, even when
those participants were participating were having their graduations, of course
you'll be giving ours to say the best student and
what what what? It was fine to that it was
seen to say that those same students are the ones
(28:36):
that even scooked those hours during graduation. So you could
tell to say, okay, this they were moved and this
quiz actually contributed to that.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
So the same the same students that's participated in this
Master Went four quiz won awards during the graduation exactly.
That means that they performed better than extremely interesting.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
They're over prepared.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
They're over prepared, Yeah, because of the tremendous efforts you're
put in. And of course, without doubt, I think we
should expect that percentage from the fifty four seventy fourth
to someone now someone on.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Talking about and oh yes, yeah average as well. We
even removed and like I've said, we've been recording.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Such no, no, no ten that is is a professional innescentce.
She she knows these questions. Well, yes, last year she
had all the answers. Okay, yeah, you can talk to us.
She has all the answers and the questions.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Now other questions have because so just read what's in
and then you'll be able to get everything correct.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Okay, that's what they tell us exactly, just that it
was in the books.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That's what's coming.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
You don't you don't want to be that. I will
tell you not focus on at unit's nine.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Now that we are looking.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
At the match the five quiz. So what advice or
what benefits do you think this march, this smart piece
has on the studios and on differenties.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Okay, on different universities. I'll start with the universities. I
might say the publicity that we have talked about because
even this the podcasts for us, for us to appear
on your page, of course, you've got a good following
and that so it gives your the university that face. Okay,
(30:39):
you will be known. Like you said, it's national. Okay,
so if I'm here right now and this will be published,
it means it's I'm national. So even for the university,
it is going national. So all those participating in universities
will be given that privilege. And for the student part.
Like we have said, all those students that are involved
(31:00):
in these squeezes, they tend to perform extremely well when
it comes to academics. And one of the advices that
I can give even as you are preparing these students,
you shouldn't just focus on the finalists, Okay, you can
also involve those who are interested to say you can
come through even as they are preparing. You can see
it will also help them in their growth academically academical.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yes, and just and that we were interviewing we had
the charts on the podcast with we invited the chief
executive officer for Eleterra Smart Missterm Sonda. He mentioned was
just reminded because you mentioned that this goes national, it
might interest you again to know that this actually goes
(31:44):
beyond Zambia.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, because yeah, it goes beyond Zambia. Because from the
interaction we had with Missterm Sounda, he had mentioned that
actually from the people watch the podcast, we are from
others from South Africa, Allowana, Zimbabwe and you interest oh
(32:07):
yes in the.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Quiz okay plan for them? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
International? Who might know if you defend your trophy, you
you might represent Zambias as a team to to to
play or to debate or or quiz internationally. Great, that
would be great just as well. How are you preparing
your student for the Smarts twenty five. It's a big event,
(32:41):
we nicely executed, believe you mean, it's a three day event,
bigger than what we saw last ye, yes, yes, massive,
and we are going to to have a lot of
stakeholders who are going to come throughout that event. How
well are you preparing in your students to ensure that
(33:02):
you got this? Oh, this is the trophy you want? Yes, lovely,
this is the trophy ladies and gentlemen, the defending champions
Sannydale University, presented by Eliteral Smart Medical Supplies Limited, of course,
the main main hosts and organizers of the Nationalist March
twenty five quiz, of course, being quizzed by the nursing students,
(33:27):
those ones from across the country. How are you preparing
your students for you to depend this trophy?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Okay? Of course, when you look at the quiz the way,
the way you carried out, it's got some rules that
these students have to actually follow. Therefore, so far since
this was announced, we've had about two sessions of quizes
just within the campus. Yes, this intake against this in tach.
(34:02):
So that gives them the vibe of what they're supposed
to expect when we when we go there for the
quiz and the rules. Of course, maybe you're not supposed
to answer before the question is is fully read. Yes,
So you run them through like that. By doing that,
you're actually causing some awareness in them to say, Okay,
(34:24):
I'm where I'm going, I'm supposed to carry myself like this,
I'm supposed to follow one or two three like that? Yes,
then even psychological Okay, so you just sit them down
and tell them to say, where you're going, You're going
to see all of the cloud, a lot of students,
a lot of lecturers, and these these big people. So
(34:46):
psychologically by telling them that, you are preparing them because
when they reach there, they won't be surprised, won't be
shivering because they knew to say, when we go there,
this is what we this is what is expected.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Of them, expected to me different people. Yes, yes, yes,
haven't you thought of calling out another school? So just
have your mini queize between new schools involved?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Okay, so a national case. Okay, that sounds like a
good idea. I think I'm going to send it to
the Prince for tutors so that you can just draft
it and maybe invite them. That would do what that
would do us good? Yes?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
So which school this year? Are you scared of?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Which school? Okay, let me say I'm not scared of
any school. Yes, I'm not scared of any school this year.
But there are a lot of schools that I involved there.
Some I don't even know them, some I know them.
So am I not say I'm really scared. I was
scared in thematch twenty four quiz when I saw all
this O PA. Yes, but we proved ourselves wrong by winning.
(35:59):
So this time, and I don't think I might have
that vege of saying, Okay, I'm scared of that school.
I'm scared of that school because anything can happen.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Okay, Yes, So by looking at how how we're trying
to prepare your students and so we hope you defend.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Your it's yes, we hope.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
So you're the best.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Thank you, So, mister Tambo.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Just a quick wait for our viewers. This should be
an advisory student and anss in schools diamight have not
participated in this twenty five quiz, does you have time?
We can prepare. They can either join now or they
can join mixtyar So what advice would you give them?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Okay? So I will start with with the schools. For
those who have not registered, is it's still open it yes? Okay.
So for those that have not yet registered, I would
advise you to to register. So this quiz gives us
a platform of integrating with different unif these it is, okay,
(37:01):
So we all learn from from each other. So if
you register, you you are going to experience an experience
that you you wouldn't get if you don't participate, okay,
So you will learn one or two things. Then when
it comes to the students, like I've said, those students
that happen to participate in this quize, it helps them
(37:23):
in their academic growth. So for the universities, it's very
hard now that they have to participate in this squeze
as it will help their students grow academically. Then the
other one you said, students the schools okay, yes, and
the viewers yes yes. And for the viewers there are
(37:44):
some tickets that have been sought. I'm taught. Of course,
the school cannot get everyone and the community at large,
So would go upon the different people just to purchase
the tickets that e Literas match is actually selling, so
that you can and be part of this experience, even
for people who have already graduated. People awaking. I mean
(38:06):
you're the one who handle our students, especially when we
bring them to the wards and oh so I'm just
going up all of them to just come on board
and purchase the tickets and be part of this experience.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Interesting that you had prepared five tickets for them they're
defending champions. Yes, yeah, Alex, you have some five tickets
for your other spectators. But of course just make sure
the university to buy his more tickets for so that
(38:39):
you increase.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
You need numbers, then definitely number all management, So getting
tickets for everyone students.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
The auditorium capacity is one thousand and and and if
you have small numbers, you will be overpowered by other
universities are going to quite huge numbers then, so make
sure you goose tickets from editrous matt and of course
those ones who might want to access.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
T shirts that's wearing.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Oh much plenty five? Where's mine?
Speaker 3 (39:10):

quartures for a day and one fifty for three days.
That's on the tickets and then we put for VIP
tickets two fifty for a day and five hundred and.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
Three days, so big and March and five christ It's
going to be a big event.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Oh yeah, no, it will be a very big event.
And the university says they are ready to defend their trophy.
They are the reigning champions and they won because they
won the Smart twenty four quiz, and of course I
was Smart expanded the quiz to making it a national
event quiz. So now they defend this trophy. With over
(40:15):
twenty schools now participating, we are expecting a number of
about fifty schools to participate in this national quiz. Will
your school be a participant of this quiz? We're signing
their university to defend their trophy. H will you grab
it from them? They said they were scared of Apex
and Saint Luke last year. Will send looks and Appex
