 Standard Chartered Bank Zambia has called on teachers and students to harness digital platforms to market their skills and drive innovation in the education sector, following the launch of the Nzelu mobile application.

Speaking at the event, Christine Matambo, Head of Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing for Zambia and Southern Africa at Standard Chartered Bank Zambia, emphasized the transformative potential of technology in redefining teaching and learning.

Matambo said the Nzelu App presents a unique opportunity for educators and learners to not only access knowledge but also monetize their expertise by offering professional teaching services through digital means.

“This platform is more than just an educational tool—it is a gateway for students and teachers to showcase and sell their skills, while contributing to the growth of a knowledge-based economy,” she said.

She further encouraged women in the teaching profession to take advantage of such innovations, noting that digital platforms can help amplify their ideas and unlock new opportunities for professional growth.

Matambo stressed that empowering women through innovation is critical to achieving inclusive development, particularly in sectors such as education where women make up a significant portion of the workforce.

The launch of the Nzelu App marks a significant step toward integrating technology into Zambia’s education system, with stakeholders optimistic that it will bridge gaps in access to quality learning and create new income streams for educators.

Education experts and stakeholders at the event hailed the initiative as timely, especially as the country continues to explore digital solutions to enhance teaching standards and student outcomes.

The Nzelu App is expected to provide a dynamic platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and entrepreneurship among teachers and students across Zambia.
