And Higher Education Minister Michael Kaingu is optimistic that opening up for open and distance higher learning institutions in Zambia will improve many Zambian’s professional qualifications.
Dr. Kaingu says this in turn will better their lives as individuals and the society at large.
He says government therefore expects that the launched ODF will also help raise the quality of teaching and learning and make education more relevant to national goals and aspiration.
Dr. Kaingu was speaking last in speech read for him by higher education Permanent Secretary Owen Mugemezulu during the official launch of the ODF.
