Zambia Open Community Schools (ZOCS): Improved education service provision through policy engagement with government

Zambian Open Community Schools will continue to support 665 community schools across four districts in Zambia. These schools offer education to the most vulnerable and marginalised communities and their children. They are run and owned by the communities and often supported by volunteer teachers. These schools, once seen as illegal, have been incredibly successful in supporting the Government's provision of education. Staff will work with government to continue to influence education policies to ensure a quality education is offered through more sustainable and resourced community schools in the longer term.
