The Zambian government awarded 13,685 technical education, vocational, and entrepreneurship training (TEVET) bursaries in areas including agriculture, ICT, and digital skills. Permanent Secretary Brilliant Habeenzu said bursary support has expanded despite fiscal pressures, increasing from 4,522 in 2021 to 13,685 in 2026. The awards targeted students nationwide, prioritizing female applicants, learners from rural districts, and students with disabilities. The initiative aims to enhance skills development and support economic growth.
