NUPPEZ CALLS FOR GREATER INVESTMENT IN EDUCATORS TO SUSTAIN EDUCATION REFORMS.

Lusaka 15th July, 2026 – National Union of Public and Private Educators of Zambia (NUPPEZ) calls on government to continue prioritizing educators’ welfare by improving conditions of service, ensuring timely payment of certain allowances, providing adequate teaching and learning materials, and creating safe, secure, and conducive working environments.

As NUPPEZ, we acknowledge government’s continued commitment in strengthening the education sector through sustained investment in infrastructure, teacher recruitment, curriculum reforms, expansion of the school feeding programme, and the successful enactment of the Free Education Policy into law. These interventions have greatly improved access to education and created opportunities for thousands of learners, particularly those from vulnerable communities.

The Union however, wish to emphasise that the long-term success of these reforms will largely depend on the welfare, motivation, and professional support accorded to educators. Expanding access to education must be complemented by deliberate investment in the educators who remain at the heart of the teaching and learning process. Every profession begins in the classroom, and quality education can only be achieved through motivated, competent, and committed teachers.

NUPPEZ also appeals to government to give special attention to teachers serving in rural and hard-to-reach areas. Many educators continue to make enormous sacrifices despite inadequate staff housing, limited access to electricity, clean water, healthcare services, internet connectivity, reliable transport, and essential teaching resources. The Union believes addressing these challenges will improve the welfare of educators, enhance morale, and contribute greatly to improving the quality of education in rural communities where the need remains greatest.

As NUPPEZ, we reaffirm our commitment to working collaboratively with Government and all education stakeholders to advance practical, sustainable, and forward-looking reforms that strengthen both access to and the quality of education in Zambia. We also take this opportunity to encourage all teachers to remain professional, ethical, and politically neutral as they continue serving the nation during this politically active period. Together, we can build an education system that empowers every learner and secures a brighter future for Zambia.

PRESS STATEMENT

NUPPEZ CLARIFIES ITS POSITION ON COMMENTS REGARDING CIVIL SERVANT DEBT.

Lusaka-6th July,2026. National Union of Public and Private Educators of Zambia (NUPPEZ) has noted with concern public statements attributed to one of its provincial leaders, Mr. Penza Simon Siame, Senior Trustee for the Copperbelt Province, following the tragic death of a teacher from Kabwe.

First and foremost, NUPPEZ extends its heartfelt condolences to the family, colleagues, learners, and friends of the late Ms. Lucy Konkola. Her untimely passing is a painful reminder of the emotional and financial pressures that many educators face. We encourage members experiencing financial challenges to seek professional counselling and support and to reach out to their families, colleagues, and relevant institutions for assistance.

The Union wishes to make it clear that the views expressed by Mr. Siame regarding engaging political parties on matters affecting indebted civil servants do not represent the official position of NUPPEZ.

Mr. Siame made these remarks without consulting the National Leadership. As a provincial office bearer, he did not have the mandate to issue policy pronouncements on behalf of the Union. His statements were therefore made outside established Union procedures and have unfortunately misrepresented the official position of NUPPEZ.

NUPPEZ will institute appropriate administrative and disciplinary measures in line with the Union's Constitution and disciplinary procedures.

NUPPEZ remains a non-partisan and politically neutral labour movement. We do not align ourselves with, endorse, or negotiate policy matters through political parties. Our mandate is to engage constructively with the Government of the day, as the employer of public service workers, through established social dialogue and labour relations mechanisms to address the welfare of educators.

We therefore encourage all civil servants to remain politically neutral in the ex*****on of their duties and to avoid actions that may compromise the impartiality expected of the Public Service.

The Union acknowledges that the growing debt burden among teachers is a matter of serious concern. We remain committed to engaging Government and other relevant stakeholders to explore sustainable solutions that will improve the financial well-being of educators while protecting their dignity and productivity.

At the same time, NUPPEZ encourages teachers and all public service workers to exercise financial discipline. While economic challenges may necessitate borrowing in certain circumstances, members are urged to borrow responsibly and within their capacity to repay. Sound financial management remains an important aspect of personal well-being and professional effectiveness.

NUPPEZ will continue to advocate for policies that enhance the welfare of educators through constructive engagement, mutual respect, and evidence-based dialogue with Government and other stakeholders.

Mirriam Kayemba Mbuta (Mrs.)
Public Relations Officer, NUPPEZ.
