There is good news for unemployed and disadvantaged youths who have a desire to study.
The Department of Education is offering free scholarships for those who are interested in studying to become a teacher.
The Funza Lushaka Bursary Programme is a multi-year programme that promotes teaching in public schools. Full-cost bursaries are available to enable eligible students to complete a full teaching qualification in an area of national priority. Recipients of these bursaries will be required to teach at a public school for the same number of years that they receive the bursary.
The scholarship will pay for university registration, tuition fees, books, accommodation and a meal allowance.
