Whilst '''we acknowledge that sharing learning objectives with your students is not standard practice in Zambia''' there are very good reasons for doing so.  Students being aware of what they are expected to learn in a lesson is a step along the way towards them developing their understanding of what is involved in being successful.  By students taking greater responsibility for their learning they are improving their meta-cognition and this has been shown by numerous researchers to have a high level of impact on attainment, especially for low ability students.  The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has put together a toolkit currently covering 30 topics, each summarised in terms of their average impact on attainment, the strength of the evidence supporting them and their cost.  You will see from this that strategies that improve student's meta-cognition are highly effective at improving attainment for very little cost.  http://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/toolkit/approaches/into
