ZAQA Qualifications Certification Key to Fair Labour Market

A business expert in Solwezi District says the work of The Zambia Qualifications Authority (ZAQA) of certifying people’s qualifications will help bring about fair competition on the job market.

Amos Mpenge told the media in an interview that for years people secured employment with fake qualifications, disadvantaging qualified people.

He explained that with the mushrooming of illegal colleges and universities the certification of qualifications will sieve out masqueraders in different professions.

“It is not fair for people with invalid qualifications to be getting jobs while those with valid qualifications struggle to get employed,” Mr Mpenge said.

He has called on members of the public to support the initiative adding that it will help bring sanity to the country.

Mr Mpenge added that ZAQA was a government institution that aims to protect learners and employers by ensuring that people being employed meet National and international standards.

He has called on ZAQA to conduct country wide sensitisation programs to educate members of the public on its role and consider opening offices in all the provinces to help people access their services.
