Education & skills

Connect learning investment to an identified learner or employer need. Schools, higher education, vocational training and student facilities require different operating models and approval routes.

The enterprise perspective

Where value
can be created.

  • Schools and learning facilities
  • Higher education and applied research
  • Vocational and technical skills
  • Employer-linked training and enterprise development
  • Student accommodation and learning technology

A useful starting point

Build the case,
one question at a time.

Bring the information you have. Unknowns become preparation tasks; they do not automatically prevent an initial conversation.

  1. What level and type of learning is proposed, and who are the intended learners or employers?
  2. Who will deliver and award the programme, and what qualifications or affiliations are proposed?
  3. What demand, staffing, facilities and learner-support evidence is available?
  4. Is the investment in an education provider, a programme or the premises that support it?

Evidence to prepare

Make the proposition
possible to assess.

Describe what exists, its source and date, and what still needs confirmation. Sensitive records should follow an agreed private sharing process.

  • Promoter and site rights, institution or programme concept and the accountable operating organisation.
  • Available registration, accreditation or affiliation records, with the scope and status clearly identified.
  • Demand or employer evidence, staffing and curriculum plan, facilities, safeguarding and learner-support arrangements.
  • Business plan, operating budget, delivery milestones and the preparation or infrastructure work being funded.

People & permissions

Know who
needs to be involved.

Ministry responsible for primary and secondary education

Applicable school establishment and operating route.

Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education

Applicable higher-education institution registration and programme accreditation.

Relevant vocational-training authority and local authority

Confirmation of the training category, qualification route and premises requirements.

School, university and vocational-training proposals are not interchangeable. Confirm the competent authority for the type of education offered.

Institutional registration, programme accreditation and a foreign affiliation are different evidence categories; record what has actually been obtained.

Accommodation or construction linked to education also needs the property preparation route; a building approval does not authorise the education programme.
