At the time of independenceof Zambia in 1964, adult education facilities existed in only the 3 provinces onthe railroad line, and over 60 percent of the population had no facilities. Of 1.5million adults, 1 million had never been to school, of persons over 16, 75 percentof the males and 93 percent of the females were illiterate, mostly in the rural areas.Early in 1964 a crash program of night schools was organized in centers away fromthe railroad, a Correspondence Course Unit was established at Evelyn Hone Collegeof Further Education and fees were reduced and a policy of incentive fee remissioninitiated. In 1965 a detailed adult education plan was prepared as part of the NationalDevelopment Plan, 1965-1970. An Adult Education Section was added at Ministry Headquarters,the Correspondence Course Unit was expanded, and partial local financial supportof adult education programs was required. Two adult education centers were foundedat Ndola and Luanshya where day courses as well as evening can be given--ideal forday-release, short courses, and courses for women.

Highest priority shouldgo to agricultural extension, accompanied by a temporary restriction of the expansionof formal primary education. The vicious circle of low productivity, inadequate extensionservices, and scarcity of revenues to train and pay extension agents can be brokenonly by increasing extension services with an absolute minimum of recurrent expenditureby the government. Simple craft and commercial training, community development andresettlement projects, youth services, national service, and cooperative trainingare also necessary.
