The narrative begins in 1948, extending through the years of decolonization, and ends in 1966, when the first postcolonial government led by Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown by a military coup d’état. Drawing on insights from political economy, the history of economics and the sociology of science, the study is constructed as a series of microhistories of public institutions, social scientists, statistical enquiries and development plans.

  • ZAMBIA Focal Point: Mr
    ZAMBIA Focal Point: Mr. Athanasius Mulenga Review of the use of ODL in Zambia, 2014 1.0 Introduction and Background 1.1 Introduction Zambia is a signatory to many world education interventions. A few such world education interventions are: the Convention on the Rights of the Children (CRC) in which it is prescribed that every child has a right to quality education, the Education For All (EFA) that took place in Jomtien, Thailand in 1996 and adopted during the International World Forum which took place in Dakar, Senegal in 2000, where it was decided that every child needs to be cared for and protected. EFA called for expanding and improving Early Childhood Care Development and Education (ECCDE), and that children should be in school and attain free and compulsory quality basic (Primary) education. Then later, the Millennium Development goals(MDGs) aimed at eliminating extreme poverty and hunger, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases; ensuring environmental sustainability, developing a global partnership for development and, like for EFA goals, achieving universal primary education and promoting gender equality. In order to meet increasing demand, Zambia has adopted Open and Distance Learning (ODL) as another mode of educational delivery to complement the regular mode. 1.2 Background Since Independence, ODL has been embraced. Currently, the Zambian Government through the Ministry of Science, Vocational Training and Early Education (MoSVTEE) offers open learning at school level in regular schools and ODL schools where learners attend school in the afternoon and evening at various grade level and age groups. In the same vein, Distance Learning (DL) at this level is done in organised centres and by individuals who enroll with the Zambia College of Distance Education(ZACODE) which produces self-study educational materials in print and electronic format [released as Open Education Resources]with financial and technical assistance from COL.
