Zambia has witnessed considerable growth in enrollments over the decade, from 84% to 119% for primary, and 37% to 79% for lower secondary, and primary completion is now close to 100%, putting the country a step away from Universal Primary Education, and justifying it ranking 8th out of 28 African countries in terms of the Education for All (EFA Development Index).

Zambian children face a tremendous lack of classrooms, which results in double and even triple shift systems and high pupil-teacher ratios (58 pupils per teacher on average, well beyond the FTI target of 40 and the SSA average of 45).

(This is reflected in the Zambia EFA Profile-Education for All (EFA) – Global Status-United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) (Sources: Pôle de Dakar, 2012; UIS, 2012; GMR Report, 2011; UNAIDS, 2009; UNDP HDI, 2011; GPE, 2012; World Bank Africa SLI, 2011; SACMEQ III Project Results, 2010.

Sir MillionJr Kambuli, a Lay Pastor of Chilenje South Baptist Church Educationalist Kambuli is Managing Director of what was previously called Rise and Shine Tuition Centre but now rebranded as Lusaka Christian Tuition Centre (LCTC), welcome.

Mr Alex Zulu, a University of Zambia (UNZA) Linguistic and English Teacher, welcome, too.

From the outset,
1. Lack of adequate funding has been a serious challenge. Sir Kambuli and Mr. Zulu, any reflections, how can this ideal situation become feasible?

2. How can Zambia improve access to quality education for all?

4. Are tuition fees affordable and are teachers fairly paid or remunerated in Zambia?

6. How can the provision of education become truly free? How free is Zambian education, and is private access to education comparatively better than that provided in public institutions?

7. Do you agree with a view that Distance Education will contribute to achievement of the third Millennium Development Goal (MDD) dubbed ‘Promoting Gender Equality and Empowerment of women?

13. Is the teaching and learning environment embracing Information Communication and Technology (ICT)?

The Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC) ZANEC Executive Director, Grace Manyonga is on record applauding Government following the completion of the National EFA Review process ahead of the post 2015 education priorities, just how can Zambia advance human rights principles and learning tailored to help children overcome challenges of the 21st century?

What measures must Minister of Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education Dr Michael Kaingu introduce improve curriculum: at all stages.

All learners will now learn ICT skills from early grade to higher education and it will be compulsory, just how ready is Zambia on this score?

===========

Forum for African Women Educationalists of Zambia (FAWEZA) is a leading NGO in Zambia working to eliminate gender disparities at all levels of education, enabling women to participate in national development.

FAWEZA is part and parcel of the Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC), Sir Kambuli and Mr Zulu, how are you working with these two girl-empowering organizations?
