Zambia makes free education a legal right. Zambia has passed its first law guaranteeing free public education, turning a 2021 policy into a legal entitlement for every child.

Since fees were abolished, enrolment has surged, and over 41,000 teachers have been recruited. APA News https://apanews.net/zambia-hichilema-signs-free-education-bill-into-law/
