Zambia (Community Schools)

Zambia’s Community Schools are a government initiative aimed at providing quality basic education to children, especially in rural and underserved areas. These schools are locally managed and often involve community members, NGOs, and local authorities working together to improve access to education. They focus on ensuring children, including those who might otherwise be excluded, have the opportunity to learn in a safe and supportive environment. By empowering communities and utilizing local resources, Zambia’s Community Schools strive to increase enrollment, retention, and learning outcomes for vulnerable and marginalized children.
