Dear Editor,

I write to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Zambian Government for its monumental decision to implement the free education policy.

This initiative has lifted a tremendous burden off the shoulders of many parents and guardians, particularly those in rural and underprivileged communities, who have struggled for years to afford quality education for their children.

The policy is a beacon of hope for thousands of children across the country who are now able to attend school without fear of being turned away for failing to pay school fees.

It has begun to bridge the educational gap, giving every child an equal opportunity to access learning regardless of financial background.

Education is the foundation of our nation’s future. By ensuring it is accessible to all, the Government is empowering individuals and building a stronger Zambia.

I commend the Government for prioritising education and encourage continued investment in improving learning conditions.

Yours sincerely,
MARY TEMBO
