Minister of Education, Science and Technology Bright Msaka has said that Malawi Government is committed to improve education in the country.
Msaka made the sentiments in France during the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) General Conference.
In his remarks, Msaka said that among other indicators that government is committed to improve education is the allocation of additional money towards the sector in 2017/18 National Budget.
“Malawi continues to place emphasis on the importance of education. This is evidenced by the fact in its 2017/18 budget 18% has been allocated to education. This allocation is more than in any other single sector of Malawi’s economy,” Msaka said.
Malawi’s education minister further said that the adoption of National Strategy on Inclusive Education which will run from 2017 to 2021 is another response to challenges facing education sector in the country.
“The strategy is in line with the national education goals and objectives of promoting equity, access, quality, relevance, governance and management in education.
“Furthermore, our national strategy responds to the UN conventions and agreements to which Malawi is a party. More specifically, it is designed to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all, in line with the aims of SDG4,” he said.
Msaka also commended UNESCO for supporting Malawi in various sectors including education.
“It is pleasing to note that UNESCO has already taken concrete action in order to contribute to the attainment of the SDGs through its work in Education, Natural Sciences, Social and Human Science, Culture, Communication and Information,” he said.
On education, Msaka mentioned of Skills and Technical Programme (STEP) which is aimed at seeing youth equipped with vocational skills.

Where are the promotions for teachers?How many yrs have elapsed since govt released vacancies? ?
DR. H. Kamuzu Banda is greatly missed by this Nation
useless, u dont pay teachers, yet you say u improve education!!
In so many schools classes are still being held under trees die lack of classrooms, and
that’s while the minister of education is being driven around in a very expensive government vehicle. That actually shows commitment to the minister’s welfare, not the school children he pretends to serve.
Instead of raising salaries for teachers,akutidulanso.So pathetic.

The government should make it mandatory to all civil servants, ministers, MPs and other government related institutions to send their children and dependants to government (public) schools. The government should increase the perks for teachers as they are key to development.
Things will only change from bad to worse and there is nothing the Malawi gvt can do about it…last days Jesus is coming soon
