The Zimbabwean embassy in Zambia is currently updating its database of Zimbabwean students studying in Zambia. It aims to ensure smooth coordination and provide support to the students during their study period, according to ZBC News. Approximately 10,000 Zimbabwean students are enrolled in universities and colleges across Zambia.

Ambassador Charity Charamba, Zimbabwe’s top envoy to Zambia, has encouraged students and their guardians to register with the embassy. She said:

As the embassy, we have witnessed several Zimbabwean students who are coming to learn in Zambian institutions which is quite good because Zambia and Zimbabwe we enjoy cordial relations and we have exchange programmes.

We also have the President‘s sponsorship programme known as the ED UNZA scheme, where we have students at the University of Zambia. There are other universities where we have Zimbabweans and of late we have noticed an increase in the number of students that are coming into Zambia, but what I want to urge parents and guardians out there is that whenever your child is coming to learn in a foreign land, please be interested to know where are they going to be staying, do they have accommodation. Secondly, are their permits in order?

We must also be informed as the embassy that you have your children coming to learn here because when they are here we are their mothers and fathers, we represent the interest of all Zimbabweans here so if there are any challenges they should know where to find us.
