flag Malawi will eliminate public school fees starting Jan. 2025 to boost enrollment, with full implementation by April 2026.

flag Malawi will abolish all school fees—including tuition, exams, and development charges—in public primary and secondary schools starting January 2025, with boarding fees for secondary schools exempted. flag The move, aimed at boosting enrollment and reducing dropouts, follows a 2024 report showing only 33% of children complete primary school and 4% reach upper secondary. flag The policy, part of the ruling DPP’s platform, seeks to improve access for disadvantaged students, though concerns remain over funding, teacher shortages, and corruption draining 30% of the budget. flag Full implementation, including elimination of development fees, is set for April 2026, with government and donor funds to support schools and exams.
