Zambia Partners Obrizum Group to Pilot AI Integration in Schools and TEVET Institutions
Under the partnership, Obrizum Group will support the development and deployment of AI-powered learning tools designed to transform teaching and learning experiences.
The Government of the Zambia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Obrizum Group Ltd to pilot the integration of artificial intelligence in the country’s education system. The agreement, signed in Lusaka through the Ministry of Technology and Science Zambia, aims to introduce AI-driven learning solutions to improve the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of education, particularly in secondary schools and Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET) institutions.
Under the partnership, Obrizum Group will support the development and deployment of AI-powered learning tools designed to transform teaching and learning experiences. The pilot phase will initially focus on secondary school learners before expanding to TEVET students and trainers. The initiative is expected to demonstrate how technology-enabled education can enhance learning outcomes, increase efficiency, and better prepare graduates for the demands of a modern workforce.
According to Chibeza Agley, Chief Executive Officer of Obrizum Group, the collaboration provides an opportunity to introduce advanced AI-driven educational solutions that can benefit both students and educators. He noted that the project aims to show how digital learning platforms can improve engagement, support personalized instruction, and equip learners with skills aligned with evolving global workforce needs.
The Minister of Technology and Science, Felix Mutati, said the initiative aligns with the government’s broader strategy to strengthen the education sector under the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema. He highlighted that Zambia has already expanded access to education through policies such as free education, alongside investments in school infrastructure and the recruitment of teachers to improve delivery across the country.
Mutati added that artificial intelligence can help bridge educational inequalities by enabling personalized learning regardless of location. AI-powered systems will allow teachers to better understand students’ learning patterns and tailor lessons accordingly, ensuring that learners receive targeted support based on their individual needs and abilities.
The pilot programme is expected to begin in mid-April 2026, with plans to scale the initiative nationwide if successful. The government believes the collaboration will help modernize Zambia’s education system and provide students with access to globally competitive learning technologies.
