CALL FOR ZANEC 2021 EDUCATION AND SKILLS SECTOR MEDIA AWARDS

CALL FOR ZANEC 2021 EDUCATION AND SKILLS SECTOR MEDIA AWARDS

The Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC) is calling for entries for the 2021 ZANEC Education Media Awards. The award-giving ceremony is conducted every year to recognize and reward journalists who have contributed towards the need for quality education in our country.

BACKGROUND TO THE AWARDS

The objective of the awards is to promote reporting on the Education and Skills Sector to raise public awareness, understanding, participation and the need for the provision of quality education. Another emerging theme is the promotion of education in light of the COVID 19 pandemic.  The entries must be based on one of the three (3) selected Education Sub Sectors namely:

  1. Skills and Tertiary Education – with a bias towards Academic Freedom and quality of education in Higher Institutions of Learning.
  2. Mitigating the Impact of COVID 19 on Education.
  3. Gender and Equity.

The article; program; documentary or video must demonstrate the author or producer’s understanding of the Education and Skills Sector at the barest minimum. The articles must also show well researched work or compiled by the author. Education articles specifically covering ZANEC positions will have an added advantage.
