The Zambian education system consists of several levels, including primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Primary education lasts for seven years, followed by five years of secondary education. The system aims to provide basic literacy and numeracy skills, along with essential life skills. After completing secondary education, students can pursue higher education at various universities and colleges in Zambia. The government has made efforts to improve access to education, but challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and teacher shortages still exist. Overall, the system is designed to promote learning and development for all Zambians.
