Mr. Chitumba stated that the ministry is working tirelessly to ensure that all schools operating in the country are properly registered and licensed. This is part of the government’s efforts to improve the quality of education and bring order to the education sector.

The Minister emphasized the importance of having all private schools comply with the ministry’s regulations in order to ensure that students receive a high-quality education. Unregistered schools not only undermine the education system but also put the future of the students at risk. Therefore, the ministry is committed to taking swift action to close down these unlicensed schools.

The Minister urged all stakeholders, including parents and guardians, to be vigilant and ensure that the schools their children attend are properly registered and licensed. He also emphasized the need for increased collaboration between the ministry and local authorities to effectively monitor and regulate the operation of private schools.

In line with this, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education will soon launch a blitz to shut down all unregistered private schools across the country. This move is aimed at restoring order and ensuring that all schools meet the required standards for providing education.

It is evident that the government is committed to improving the education sector and safeguarding the future of the students. By cracking down on unregistered private schools, the ministry is sending a clear message that the quality of education is non-negotiable. All schools must operate within the parameters set by the ministry to guarantee a high standard of education for all students.
