  • Exploring Antenatal Education Content for Couples in Blantyre, Malawi Maria Chifuniro Chikalipo1,2* , Ellen Mbweza Chirwa2 and Adamson Sinjani Muula1,3
    Chikalipo et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2018) 18:497 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-018-2137-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Exploring antenatal education content for couples in Blantyre, Malawi Maria Chifuniro Chikalipo1,2* , Ellen Mbweza Chirwa2 and Adamson Sinjani Muula1,3 Abstract Background: Despite advocating for male involvement in antenatal education, there is unmet need for antenatal education information for expectant couples. The objective of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the education content for couples during antenatal education sessions in Malawi. This is needed for the development of a tailor-made curriculum for couple antenatal education in the country, later to be tested for acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness. Methods: An exploratory cross sectional descriptive study using a qualitative approach was conducted in semi- urban areas of Blantyre District in Malawi from February to August 2016. We conducted four focus group discussions (FGDs) among men and women independently. We also conducted one focus group discussion with nurses/ midwives, 13 key informant interviews whose participants were drawn from both health-related and non- health related institutions; 10 in-depth interviews with couples and 10 separate in-depth interviews with men who had attended antenatal clinics before with their spouses. All the interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and translated from Chichewa, the local language, into English. We managed data with NVivo 10.0 and used the thematic content approach as a guide for analysis. Results: We identified one overarching theme: couple antenatal education information needs. The theme had three subthemes which were identified based on the three domains of the maternity cycle which are pregnancy, labour and delivery and postpartum period.

This paper discusses the re - adoption of equitable access to higher education policy as one of the most controversial reforms in public university education in Malawi. It reviews the origins of the policy as a means of redressing disparities in access to higher educat ion and the debates that have continuously ensued between the policy’s proponents and opponents. The paper also discusses the concept of equitable access to higher education and how it has evolved from the notion of quota system. Through the debates, the p aper offers insights into the benefits of the system as well as its challenges. It also reviews possible long - and short - term solutions to addressing the issues of access to higher education. Keywords : Access; Equity; Reform. 1 Introduction Access to highe r education is very critical in Malawi. Currently, there are only four public universities namely The University of Malawi (UNIMA), Mzuzu University (MZUNI), Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST), and Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Nat ural Resources (LUANAR). This is against a population of around 18 million people in the country.
