The Teaching Council of Zambia (TCZ) has said that it will prosecute all non-compliant teachers effective January 2024.

Speaking to the media in Lusaka, Teaching Council of Zambia (TCZ) Registrar, Dr. Ebby Mubanga said all registered teachers must be licensed as stipulated in the Teaching Profession Act Number 5 of 2013.

And Dr Mubanga said seventy to eighty percent of the 220, 000 registered teachers are licensed while thirty percent are not.

He has further called on head teachers in all schools to ensure that teachers are compliant by getting registered and licensed.

Dr Mubanga has also clarified that the list circulating on social media in Kawambwa, sent by the Kasama TCZ office, is not a recruitment list but a list of non-compliant teachers in the district.

“A list of non-compliant teachers was sent to all districts so that all districts would check on the compliance status of its teachers. So, when the list was picked up by a member of public in Kawambwa, they associated the list with recruitment but that has nothing to do with recruitment but everything to do with compliance of teachers under the teaching council of Zambia,” Dr Mubanga said.

He has urged all teachers in public and private schools in all 10 provinces to remain professional at all times and ensure that they are compliant and understand the government's policies and programs.
