National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister Godfridah Sumaili says the participation of the Church in the development of human capital is a key ingredient for economic development.
Rev. Sumaili said the Church’s involvement in higher Education is an assurance that human development is valued and placed as an aspect which will help with the attainment of the National Development Plan.
Rev Sumali said this in a speech read on her behalf by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary Howard Sikwela, during the launch of Christian Colleges and Universities Association (CCUA).
Rev. Sumaili indicated that Tertiary institutions run by Churches should inculcate Christian values in their learners in order to inspire good morals and principles which are also National values enshrined in the constitution.
She explained that government supports the newly launched association as it will contribute to self-regulation and enhance best practices among the church-run higher institutions of learning.
And CCUA Chairperson Lazarus Phiri said the association is aimed at advancing a biblical worldview in higher education in Zambia and unifying member institutions that seek to create an environment for Christ transformed lives by offering excellence in education.
He explained that the main purpose of the association is to provide relevant information and advocacy for Christian colleges and universities in Zambia.
Meanwhile, Ministry of Higher Education Permanent Secretary Kayula Siame expressed happiness with the rate at which the number of government and private Universities and colleges is increasing in Zambia.
Mrs Siame said it is overwhelming to realize that most young people in the country have access to higher education and are able to acquire knowledge for self-sustainability.
What are all these universities for if the PF will not provide an environment to create jobs? So get scammed in these so called universities and then come home and live jobless? Okay that makes a tonne of sense.
Zambians, save your devalued money from Lungu and his crooks. As if they have not stolen enough? Education without putting it to use is useless. Anyways I’m all for education but not in Zambia under the current thieving PF government. You are wasting your time and money. Sorry to break it out to you. These PF are playing you for f00ls.
As a staunch born again, this brings Joy to my heart. Only the upnd evil thugs are against anything this ministry does. We are a Christian nation and if you don’t like that, then you know where the border is
ZK LIAR A BORN AGAIN AR*E MAYBE
HYPOCRICAL PF MAYBE
ONLY DICTATORIAL GOVERNMENT CAN SAY THAT… WE ARE A NATION OF MULTI FAITHS
AND WE WILL CHANGE IT TO THAT AFTER AUGUST
BLEEDING THE PEOPLE DRY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD MAKES YOU ALL AN EVIL BUNCH
Another useless association to scam the poor people of Zambia. Christian Nonsense Association of Zambia. The biggest scam on earth is christianity. It is a capitalistic scam for the poor and more especially the gullible and docile sheep of Africa. Africa has 95% of all the bibles on earth and 98% of all the poverty on earth. Ditch the Bible and lets start working and thinking. Effort to do something is cardinal.

I have never seen a country where the biggest scammer is the president and the government. Shame on you.
The PF has watered down Christianity in Zambia
