Government plans to extend the students loan scheme to private higher learning institutions in the country.
Higher Education Minister, BRIAN MUSHIMBA says government wants to ensure students in private universities and colleges benefit as well from the loan scheme.
Dr MUSHIMBA has since implored private higher learning institutions to constantly engage government on the best way the vulnerable students can be helped through the scheme.
The Minister has said this when he received a donation of 5-hundred mattresses and 5-hundred blankets, worth over 3-hundred thousand Kwacha from the University of Lusaka.
Dr MUSHIMBA has praised University of Lusaka for coming on board in helping towards measures for COVID-19.
And, University of Lusaka Vice Chancellor PINALO CHIFWANAKENI said the donation has been necessitated to supplement government’s efforts in curbing the COVID-19 pandemic.
The student loans are not exactly a good thing. If anyone wants to understand the pressure these loans come with on a population just look to the American model and then one will find the solutions. Kongole is never a good thing to be institutionalised at a population level.
That is what happens when the government institutions are useless and have been made political grounds for the ruling party. These thieves don’t care because they can use taxpayers money to send their kids here for an education.
A very hardworking government ensuring even the private sector is supported. Muzakamba ma haters muzalema. You cannot bring a good government down. 2021 its parte after parte when pf win
We are now tired of “we will “, “GRZ will….”
This is how you start telling lies….
Just do it instead of making endless we will promises ,
Just like people can’t eat roads , they can’t eat promises
I hope the Minister knows what he is doing. If government starts indirectly funding private universities through loans and bursaries, then how private do these universities become compared to public universities? I happen to have been a part-time lecturer at one of these universities some eight years ago. Most of these universities don’t even have full-time staff in most of the programs and employ large numbers of lecturers most of who are not even suitably qualified to teach a university. In their zeal to maximize on earnings, failing students – even those who are very weak – is almost taboo! I witnessed scandalous situations where some prominent politicians were graduating with incomplete continuous assessment grades! Some were even enrolled in PhD programs even though they had no…
Some were even enrolled in PhD programs even though they had no Bachelors degrees!
Kaizer Zulu refuses to appear in court
By Agness Changala-Katongo (DAILY REVELATIONS)
The four Lusaka men who sued Kaizer Zulu in the Lusaka High Court for assault are seeking a judgement in default of appearance and defence against him and his co-defendants so that they get compensation for assault and false imprisonment.
In this case, Bernard Nshindo, Sengelwayo Jere, Saul Masikoti who are qualified surveyors and businessmen, and Mason Mweemba, a driver, have sued Zulu, the former political adviser to President Edgar Lungu and his friends Mpange Kachingwe, Raffiq Rashid, and Bella Mwanza a Director of Chita Lodge Limited, seeking among other claims damages for assault, false imprisonment and kidnapping, on the pretext that they were photographing his speed boat at Chita Lodge, in…

Good Call. Let’s saddle these rich kids with student loan debt. It makes sense because they are more likely to pay it back, although most will join Diaspora and work abroad and their pastime will be to blog anti-zambian govt hysterical attacks.
Just create more debt slaves.
This a disaster and a clear sign that these i.dio.ts we have in power have no clue what they are doing. you cannot use tax payers money to pay private universities while there are public universities which you are ven failing to fund. This is criminal. No wonder the public universities are being run down. Stop this nonsense ba kolwe imwe. You want to be paying fees for your relatives using our taxes? Very st.upid.
The man who promised us zambia airways will be up and flying come october 2018 is now talking of another non starter. Who can believe him?
Why not extend them loans to tertiary colleges, nortec, NRDC. A student doing a skills program in electrics or agric should certainly deserve more relief from govt than one in socials
