Scotland’s First Minister

President Hakainde Hichilema’s engagement with Scotland’s First Minister, Rt. Hon. John Swinney, signals a new chapter in Zambia’s push from consumption to production.

This partnership in education, scientific research and climate resilience is more than just diplomacy, it is an opportunity for a smarter and more empowered Zambia.

For us in rural areas, especially the Zongwe youth and the long-neglected Zongwe girl child, this kind of collaboration brings real hope. With free education, better digital access and international linkages like this one, no child boy or girl, should ever feel left behind.

Every learner now has a chance to dream big, think beyond borders and build their own future.

President Hichilema’s leadership continues to earn global confidence because it is focused, disciplined and centred on people. As citizens, our task is clear to rise to this moment, keep learning, innovate and build communities that reflect this new dawn of opportunity and
