The Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC) has urged Members of Parliament (MPs) to spearhead and expedite the reviewing and enactment of the 1966 Education act aimed at improving the sector.
ZANEC Chairperson Barbara Chilangwa said in a speech read for her by ZANEC Board Vice Chairperson Hillary Chipango at an Education Bill Parliamentary Forum in Lusaka today that reviewing and enacting the 1966 Education act will help address the many problems the education sector is facing.
Ms. Chilangwa said the reviewing and enactment process of the 1966 education act has taken unnecessarily long and needs to be concluded.
She said once the 1966 Education Act is reviewed and enacted it will assist to uphold education as a human right.
She implored the MPs to ensure that the 1966 Education Act is reviewed and enacted because as MPs they play an important role in the formulation of appropriate legislation.

Preaching to the woods.
Yes indeed education should be a human right and the government from not run away from its responsibilities.
As a human right, education should then be compulsory up to Year 12 at the very least.
