Students from Chancellor College can afford a smile as government has announced that the lecturers’ strike which led to closure of the college has been resolved.

The future of sitting in class soon was covered with mist as Chancellor College academic staff and the then council of University of Malawi (UNIMA) tussled on salary issue.

Chanco likely to open soon.

The development forced many learners at Chanco to have a long holiday as lecturers opted to strike until the demand was meet.

But minister of education, science and technology Emmanuel Fabiano disclosed that through a meeting held on Tuesday in Zomba at Chawe, the wrangle between teachers and management has been resolved.

“Chancellor College management will make a statement in the next days on the opening of the college,” said Fabiano in a statement.

Chanco holiday enters sixth month

The closure of the college created wide gap of concerns from various education stakeholders who demanded the opening of the college.

The wrangle of salary inequality among UNIMA staff witnessed President Peter Mutharika dissolving the council.

  5. You wasted a lot time, thanks should go to the public who fought and stand together to condemn this government for closer of our universities, thanks should also go to school pupils who fought for there teacher to meet their demands. Muthalika is not running his company but he is running our own country

  6. Simply means the issue was not all that difficult. The chancellor and his education minister were sleeping on duty. Needed to be poured cold water by stakeholders including the primary 1 learners whom they tear gassed kkkkkkk.

    1. but if he had rushed and acted koyambilira u wud hav been saying akuphangila ma udindo he’s not giving chance to the ppo responsible for thoz kind of duties

  7. Nde chikalata chawo akuti agwirizana onse pamodzi ndi a Unima Council. Kodi Unima council imeneyi ndiye iti? Mayesa a pulezidenti ayithetsa konsoloyo? mmmmm

  8. Our Govt listens now. #BigUp #MrPresident. Let no one tarnish your good image locally & internationally. Start sourcing funds for teachers’ leave grants next month,July.

    1. i dont think it was easy. remember APM took the Unima council out of the equation by dissolving it. There is more to this than wat meets the eye.

  9. This is a welcome development that the chancellor has done though my question is does the president needs PAC criticism so that it’s when he has to act

    1. It Was The Duty Of The University Council To End The Wrangles Not The President Coz Amadkla Kt A Council Apange React As It Is Their Responsibility. No Wonder He Has Dissolved The Council. Education Reforms Dont Anythng Kwa President
