Cholera Outbreak forces three-week extension of school holidays in Zambia

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Schools in Zambia have been forced to stay closed for an extra three weeks because to the ongoing cholera outbreak, which has caused disruptions to the return of students to courses following the joyous holidays.

The initial reopening date scheduled for next Monday has been postponed, with both primary and secondary students now expected to resume classes on January 29, as announced by the Education Ministry on Thursday.

The Ministry of Health in Zambia reported a concerning surge in cholera cases, with 3,015 confirmed cases and 98 fatalities recorded since October 2023. Authorities had previously issued warnings about the outbreak, emphasizing its potential threat to the country’s “health security.”

In light of the extended closure, Zambia’s education minister has issued directives to ensure that all educational institutions undergo thorough cleaning processes.

The measures include the provision of clean water and sanitation facilities, sufficient handwashing points, and the implementation of disinfection protocols.

The concerted efforts aim to create a safer environment for students and curb the further spread of cholera within the educational community.ension of school holidays in Zambia*
