@Blcvxt I think that's why a lot of the opposition leaders are being silenced too frequently because if people actually came out to speak on it, people would understand things for what they are, that's why people keep getting moved around or fired.

If that Collins Nzovu chap had shame he’d have resigned by now. Now the nation has lost a 2nd year student who drowned in sewer last night.

The story of Zambia’s public universities is a long one, defined less by a lack of understanding than by a lack of action.
In 1997, President Chiluba appointed Bobby Bwalya, a retired High Court judge, to chair a Commission of Inquiry into the problems of UNZA and CBU, tracing back to 1982.
The Commission’s findings, which were handed over to government in 1998, were clear:
👉Poor funding
👉 Deteriorating infrastructure
👉Overcrowding
👉Poor sanitation
👉Inadequate accommodation for students and staff, etc.
It made detailed recommendations. Government accepted some, rejected others. But even those that it accepted were not actioned.
What is striking, nearly three decades later, is how little has changed.
In 2007, government convened a consultative forum in Siavonga to address the same issues the Bwalya Commission had dealt with. Problems were (re)identified, solutions restated.
In 2016, Minister of Higher Education Michael Kaingu issued a ministerial statement that triggered extensive parliamentary debate on the same challenges.
Over the years, the Parliamentary Committee on Education has dealt with the issue of public universities repeatedly. Its reports are available on Parliament’s website.
Most recently, on 25 April 2024, the Higher Education Authority held a national conference on the transformation of university education in Zambia. Once again, the problems were carefully diagnosed. Once again, solutions were proposed.
The difficulties facing public universities have been studied repeatedly, across decades, administrations and platforms.
The recommendations are not new; they are there in the Bwalya Commission Report and reinforced by years of policy dialogue and parliamentary reports.
What is missing is not insight. It is implementation.
Zambia currently has ten public universities. Last month on Youth Day, government announced plans to set up six more.
Those that are questioning the idea of building more when the current ones are facing serious challenges cannot simply be wished away as detractors, especially in light of the evidence.
