Members of the Press Ladies and Gentlemen All Protocol Observed 2 Welcome Remarks I extend my warm welcome to all of you esteemed guests. I am humbled and grateful that you could find time from your busy schedules to come and celebrate with us the achievements of this still relatively young university. Mr Chancellor, Sir, while this is our fourth graduation ceremony, it is the first for degree students where you are conferring 64 diplomas and 98 degrees! I hope that excites you Sir. Honourable Minister and Chairperson of Council, this should be putting a smile on your faces too. I now urge you all our guests to relax and enjoy the proceedings of this celebration. Introducing the Theme of the Graduation Address It is now my honour and privileged to give the graduation address on behalf of the Mulungushi University community. The pioneers of Mulungushi University came up with a profound Motto or Mission Statement: Pursuing the frontiers of Knowledge. What do we mean by pursuing the frontiers of knowledge? What is this RARE Leadership that I am bringing to the equation as a modus operandi for pursuing the frontiers of knowledge? Mr Chancellor, these are the questions I am going to attempt to respond to in this address under the theme: “Pursuing the frontiers of Knowledge through RARE (Responsible, Accountable, Relevant, Ethical) Leadership. The Meaning of Pursuing The Frontiers of Knowledge At least from my reflection, the notion of pursuing the frontiers knowledge can in its simplistic form, mean ‘focused expanding the [boundaries] of knowledge’. To pursue means you are not running aimlessly but there is a target of your pursuit. It is like you are hunting for a catch or following something desirable, in this case the frontiers of knowledge. Frontiers refer to boundaries, frontline, leading edge or cutting edge. In this context, Loewens define knowledge as the ability to adapt to any situation and never being caught unaware. Others refer to it as the information and skills one acquires through experience or education; both 3 theoretical and practical. Knowledge is what is known in a particular field or in total about facts relating to a particular subject. Thus put together we can say as Mulungushi University we are focused on expanding the [boundaries] of knowledge’. We recognise the world as a global village and strive to make a positive and RARE impact as we push forward the frontiers of knowledge in ways that fight toxicity at all levels and contribute to addressing the socio-economic challenges facing our country and continent at large. The knowledge that we pursue and seek to build or develop is the kind that will make a difference at all levels. It is well acknowledged that one of the major challenges is how to develop citizens who not only possess ‘up to date’ knowledge but are able to actively participate in the creation of new knowledge as part of their lives. In pursuing the frontiers of knowledge, Mulungushi University operates in the realm of developing graduates and citizens who possess the competency to broaden knowledge creation. What seems to be lacking is the pedagogical theory of developing this cohort of knowledge creators. Knowledge building may be defined as the production and continual improvement of ideas of value to a community in a synergistic way. This resonates with the definition of RARE leadership. Mr Chancellor, before I explain what RARE leadership is all about let me explain some ways in which one can acquire and build knowledge. First master what you already know. At least be able to display competency in what you already know in every aspect possible. Secondly, focus on secondary-skill, like critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and the like to ensure that you are not the jack of all trades and a specialist in none. Thirdly, place your skills into component, like ICT, research, etc. which will help you to be competent in adding value, then Fourthly, utilise Learning communities concept. This is when you develop or build knowledge with others leveraging the benefits of diversity which is said to spark creativity and innovation. In this regard, MU will put emphasis on building mutually beneficial collaborations and partnerships. This means 4 that as MU community we will aim for cutting-edge knowledge coupled with country, continental and global engagement to contribute to positive change to lives of individuals and our communities. Basically we will be taking the best of our university to the global village and the best of the global village back to our university and country. At the centre of this focus is research that is RARE in its nature. Of course in our approach we will be combing learning and knowledge building. It is important that we make a distinction between learning and knowledge building so that we don’t erroneously equate the two. Learning is internal and personal. It usually results in changes in one’s belief, attitude or skill, whereas knowledge building results in the creation of or modification of public knowledge which lives in the world and is available to be worked on and be used by other people as well. Our focus in pursuing the frontiers of knowledge through RARE leadership is on both. Leadership in Context Mr Chancellor, I have also indicated that I will share with you as to what it means executing this colossal university responsibility [that is, pursuing the frontiers of knowledge] through RARE leadership. Let me define leadership as I have done in my writings including my book, “RARE Total Leadership: Leading with the Head, Heart and Hands”; “the process of influencing others commitment towards realizing their full potential in achieving value adding shared vision with passion and integrity”. Thus Leadership is not about the formal position one holds in an organization, but about positive influence and value that one adds to others by serving in the positions they are in.In its conceptual, intellectual and pragmatic form it is the leadership that pays special attention to the perceptions, attitudes and behaviours of disciples [a higher order to followers]; relies heavily on the attributes, competencies and expertise [which is the results of knowledge] of the leader and is guided and guarded by a principled based value system of being RARE. 5 Why RARE Leadership Honourable Minister, contrary to the brilliant pronouncements from the West on leadership and how to develop leaders, the 21st century has experienced some serious Western leadership failures that have affected and impacted negatively on Zambia and the whole world. The leadership failure of US President George W Bush and the economic meltdown are probably the two most relevant examples. They should change the way we think of leadership and, perhaps, help us to recognise what is missing, a RARE way of leading even in acquiring, building and pursuing the frontiers of knowledge. There are many people and institutions to blame for the economic meltdown. As you know, the rot started with supposedly highly respected financial institutions making very high risk loans. They then took these high risk loans and through some fancy financial tricks dressed them up to look like low risk investments which they sold on. Why did they go to all this trouble? Well it was very profitable to do so. It meant huge bonuses and lavish lifestyles at the expense of the unknowing. You see knowledge can be used in a toxic and destructive way. It was of course inevitable that this would unravel at some point. It just wasn’t sustainable! As the Word of God puts it in the Holy Bible, “Your sin will find you out”, and so it did. Unfortunately when it did unravel, it wasn’t just the greedy who suffered. It was also millions of ordinary people who lost their jobs, their life’s savings, and their pensions. In fact it is probably safe to say it became almost everyone’s problem. Let me pose here and elaborate in my typical African way with a story about the animals which I have also been using in my publications. It does not concern me!!! Once upon a time, there was a family who kept animals- a cow, a dog, a chicken, and a cat. A rat was seen in the house and the house owner set a trap to kill the rat. The rat then called a meeting with other animals in the house and tried to solicit for help from them to remove the trap.

It is these insightful voices that this article unveils. Phenomenological research design was employed. Three research sites were targeted comprising two chiefdoms and covering four villages, two villages from each chief dom. Data was collected using interviews and focus group discussions. After coding the data, narrative and thematic methods of data analysis were used. Findings reveal that the value of adult education is measured informally by the number of the adult population able to access social amenities equitably and equally on one hand, and on the other, by their ability to read the „word and the world‟ as purported by Freire and Macedo (1987).

Introduction The development of adult education is very vital because every society which is committed to achieve community and economic development and social transformation should have educated citizen who can participate willingly, intelligently and efficiently in all developmental programmes of the country.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • The Role of Private Higher Education Provision in Zambia: Changing the Higher Education Landscape in Africa
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 8 • No. 6 • June 2018 doi:10.30845/ijhss.v8n6p11 The Role of Private Higher Education Provision in Zambia: Changing the Higher Education Landscape in Africa Daniel L. Mpolomoka, Z Ambian Open University AMBIA Selina Band Mbono Vision Dube Zambian Open University Akombelwa Muyangana University of Zambia Esther Kanduza, Zambian Maina Kaleba, Zambian Open University Abstract This paper is anchored on the assumption that the world is approaching the end of two important international initiatives, the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2014) and the Millennium Development Goals (2015). Given such a scenario, Africa is gaining increased attention due to the innumerable challenges it faces in striving to achieve sustainable development. There is unanimity that African countries should improve their capacities to cope with emerging challenges. As a result, their higher education institutions need to drastically improve their own educational programmes and associated research facilities for training future generations of skilled personnel. This paper concludes by making critical observations on the general populace’s expectations of private higher education learning institutions. Keywords: Private higher education, Africa, Zambia, Learning Introduction The world we live in is radically changing from that of a couple of decades ago. It is an era of globalization, with growth of economic and social activities across national boundaries being common features. Berdahl (2008) outlines some of the major changes today, which include technological revolution in communications (the internet and large‐scale computerized information systems). Given such circumstances, both public and private institutions of higher learning face many challenges of local, national and global context.

  • Enhancing the Standard of Legal Education in Zambia: Challenges and Prospects
    ENHANCING THE STANDARD OF LEGAL EDUCATION IN ZAMBIA: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS BY DR CHIPASHA MULENGA, LLD, AHCZ EXECUTIVE DEAN – SCHOOL OF LAW, UNIVERSITY OF LUSAKA, ZAMBIA ABSTRACT The core of legal education should be to prepare students for the different roles they will assume after law school. This seemingly modest idea, however, actually creates a daunting challenge as lawyers’ roles are multifaceted. Where there is little attention paid to legal education, the result is a deterioration of standards thereby affecting the quality of law graduates produced by legal education institutions. It has been asserted that the standard of legal education in Zambia has not attained the required heights but has, on the contrary, over the years, gradually deteriorated. This contention mostly centres on fundamental aspects that legal education institutions have not, over the years, been addressed. To address this perception, accreditation of schools of law has been introduced as a mandatory requirement. It is argued, with optimism, that accreditation could be a panacea. Regrettably, however, accreditation does not appear to fully ameliorate the present state of legal education in Zambia especially that the empowering statute is fraught with frailties. There are, however, some positive aspects which, if addressed properly, would spur legal education to greater heights. The article, therefore, argues that legal education in Zambia is under siege and if the situation remains unaddressed, it could eventually lead to the collapse of legal education, however, the situation is not beyond reprieve. KEYWORDS: Accreditation; Higher Education Authority; Legal Education; Legal Education Institutions; Zambia Institute for Advanced Legal Education. 1 INTRODUCTION Legal education has a fundamental part to play in society.
