HEA 2021 BACKED

Higher Education Authority Director General, STEPHEN SIMUKANGA, says it is necessary to have relevant regulations in order to implement the

Higher Education amendment act 2021.

Speaking at the Higher Education Amendment Act sensitisation workshop in Lusaka today, Professor SIMUKANGA said a series of meetings have been designed to consult stakeholders on the regulations that have been made.

He said the workshops are designed to consult stakeholders on the regulations before they are considered by the Ministry of Justice and before the Ministry of Education issues the Statutory Instrument.

Professor SIMUKANGA further said the meetings will also focus on the impact of regulations on operations of higher education institutions.

He disclosed that a regulatory impact assessment was conducted by the authority in conjunction with the Business Regulatory Review Agency.

Professor  SIMUKANGA added that the goal of the impact assessment was to ensure that the user fees are both cost reflective and have negligible impact on the cost of doing business for the higher education subsector.
