Interview with H.E Mr. Fabiano Emmanuel, Minister of Education, Science & Technology, Malawi.
How do you think the trade relations between India and Malawi could be improved?
I think the trade relations between India and Malawi could be improved through more active participation of Malawians and Indians. At present, not much of the Malawians are involved in trade. People in Malawi are the permanent residents and some of them come to Malawi just for business. They buy most of the produce in the country and sell it outside the country. This kind of trade doesn’t benefit the country. We want more and more potential participants in trade through cooperatives so that it could benefit the country as well.
What is the current status of the education sector in Malawi and what steps and policies are being framed by the government to improve the condition of education sector?
Well the current situation is that we have many learners in the primary school sector, but we don’t have the proportionate learners in secondary and high school. Currently we are working very hard to make sure that we expand the secondary and high school sector and therefore increase the transition of learners from primary to secondary and from secondary to higher education. The purpose of my visit to India is to find out the ways and means of identifying the partners who can assist Malawi from the technical point of view so that we can expand higher education and focus on providing the online programs through new institutions.
Malawi has a high dropout rate especially in secondary and primary schooling. What steps are being initiated by the government to improve this situation?
