Free Education is now law

PARLIAMENT has approved the Education (Amendment) Bill, paving the way for the formal legalisation of the Free Education Policy introduced by the New Dawn administration.

The bill was among several proposed pieces of legislation presented for second reading in the House yesterday.

Its objective is to guarantee education as a right for all citizens, covering early childhood care, development and education through to secondary school level in public institutions.

Minister of Education Douglas Syakalima told the House in a policy statement that although the policy has recorded significant achievements since its introduction in 2021, it has remained largely administrative and not fully anchored in law.

“This has given rise to implementation challenges that cannot be adequately addressed through administrative means alone,” he said.

Mr Syakalima cited challenges such as inconsistencies in enforcement across institutions, continued unlawful charging of fees in some public schools, and the absence of mechanisms to compel compliance and provide redress to affected learners and families.

“In view of these limitations, it has become both necessary and urgent to elevate free education from a policy directive to a legal right, enforceable in law and protected by the full authority of Parliament,” he said.

The minister said the move will ensure sustainability of the gains achieved, provide legal certainty for learners, institutions and administrators, as well as establish clear accountability mechanisms.

Mr Syakalima described the bill as a milestone in Zambia’s education reform agenda.

“Its enactment will legally entrench free education, improve equity across all levels of education, and strengthen protection for the most vulnerable learners in society,” he said.

Mr Syakalima said the bill is a transformative and historic piece of legislation that will ensure that no Zambian child is denied access to education due to financial constraints.

Sunday Chanda supported the bill and commended Government for turning free education into a justiciable right.

“Education is a continuous endeavour, and we must build on the foundations laid by those who came before us,” he said.

Other bills presented for second reading included the Higher Education (Amendment) Bill, Environmental Management (Amendment) Bill, National Heritage Conservation Commission (Amendment) Bill, and National Museums (Amendment) Bill.

Meanwhile, Acting Minister of Finance and National Planning Elvis Nkandu told the House that Government has continued to implement public finance management reforms to improve efficiency, transparency and accountability in revenue collection.

Mr Nkandu said Government, through SMART Zambia Institute, has automated revenue payment systems, particularly via the Government Service Bus.

“A total of 394 services have now been integrated into the Government Service Bus, surpassing the initial target of 380. This milestone has greatly enhanced the efficiency of non-tax revenue collection,” he said.

Mr Nkandu was responding to a motion for the House to adopt the report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Auditor General’s report on the Accounts of the Republic for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, during the Fifth Session of the 13th National Assembly.

The report highlighted some irregularities, including failure to collect government revenue.

Mulungushi University today had the honour of hosting the Swedish Ambassador to Zambia, His Excellency Mr. Jonah Hallenborg, at the Great North Road Campus. The visit formed part of the Swedish Embassy’s Pop-Up Embassy initiative, which featured a dialogue on Women and Youth in Politics.

The dialogue aimed to inspire and encourage young people to actively participate in shaping national affairs, while contributing meaningfully to governance and sustainable development.

Among those in attendance were the Vice-Chancellor, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the Swedish Ambassador, and other delegates from the Swedish Embassy.

Speaking during the event, His Excellency Mr. Jonah Hallenborg emphasized that young people are not only future leaders but also key contributors to democratic life today. He further highlighted Sweden’s continued commitment to promoting democracy, gender equality, and inclusive participation in governance.

Meanwhile, Mulungushi University Vice-Chancellor, Ambassador Professor Royson Mukwena, underscored the importance of women’s participation in politics both globally and within Zambia. He noted that the meaningful inclusion of women in political leadership and decision-making processes is essential for achieving equitable and representative governance.

Students actively engaged in the dialogue by asking questions and sharing their aspirations for leadership and national development. Participants stressed the importance of mentorship, civic education, and the creation of safe spaces where young voices can be heard and nurtured.

In an interview, Ms. Njavwa Kutila, a second-year student, expressed that the event inspired her to consider a career in public service and leadership.

As the event drew to a close, the atmosphere remained hopeful and energized. What began as a dialogue evolved into a powerful call to action—encouraging the next generation to step forward and actively shape Zambia’s democratic future.
