We are happy to announce that Professor Stephen Barnhart ICOF Global President has been appointed as Goodwill Ambassador with a mandate to help raise funds for Youths who are failing to pay 12 US Dollars per month used as user fee and accommodation for each student and centre and Examination fees during 14 days Residential Classes.
Government of the Republic of Zambia signed a memorandum of understanding with ICOF to provide free tertiary education to most vulnerable but viable Youths of Zambia last year and over 12,000 Youths are on the three Years Program, but most Youth are dropping out due to lack of funds.
The GRZ-ICOF Community scholarships has over 25 Diploma learning programs implemented in partnership with local and International Colleges and Universities both online and full time which includes, Registered Nursing, Public Health, Environmental Health Sciences, Teacher Education, Social Work, Public Administration, Psychosocial Counselling, Leadership Development, Development Studies, Project Management, Human Resources among other programs.
It is a desire of the New Dawn Government to see that every Youth in Zambia has access to education regardless of the status in society. As a Ministry responsible for the welfare of Youths in Zambia we are open for new education partners and those interested can neither contact Ambassador Barnhart on This email address is being protected from spambots.
