Zambia bans unregistered pre-schools

Share

The Ministry of General Education has banned the unregistered private pre-schools countrywide.

Ministry of General Education Director of Standard and Curriculum Sunday Mwape said learning the ministry will not allow private pre-schools to operate in residential houses as learning institutions.

Dr. Mwape observed that the mushrooming pre-schools which are operating in residential houses are not conducive for pupils.

He alleged that most of the pre-schools do not have qualified teachers and do not meet the standards of the ministry.

Dr. Mwape added that some of the pre- schools are not certified by councils and registered by the Patent and Company Registration Agency (PACRA).

He has since directed all unregistered pre-schools to stop operating if they do not want to meet the standards and guidelines of the ministry.

He further encouraged parents to stop sending their children to such schools.

Dr. Mwape further explained that the Ministry of General Education will continue to inspect and monitor the pre-schools so that they can help those who are willing to follow the standards of education in Zambia.

  1. “….bans unregistered pre-school…”? If they are not registered then it means they are illegal and technically they are already banned, so why are you banning them again? If they are already banned, then your next step is to close them, so that our title reads “Government has closed unregistered pre-schools”

  2. These guys have run out of ideas or there is nothing to do anymore? Universities are operating in residential areas and big companies too,how do you qualify that environment is not conducive? Start by removing companies which are least qualified to operate in residential areas

  3. OK this is what happens to a reactive government be proactive. Some compounds today exist as a result of local government initial and reactive attitude. Be proactive for once.
