Holistic Education in Zambia

Andrew Ashdown, Partnership Coordinator for Africa, shares insights into three Methodist schools in Zambia providing high quality, holistic education to young people across the country.

“As in much of Africa, 62% of the population in Zambia are under 25 years old. And of the 75% of these young people who will ultimately go into agriculture, only a quarter of them will achieve anything more than a subsistence living. This demographic is partly why unemployment levels are so high, development goals are so important, and why effective, holistic education is at the heart of Methodist ministry in the country and across Africa.”
