Curriculum update

Zambia's new national curriculum, explained

The Ministry of Education is rolling out a revised national curriculum, starting with Grade 4 learners in 2026. Under the new structure, Primary School will run from Grade 1 to Grade 6 instead of Grade 1 to Grade 7, and this year's Grade 4 class will be the first to sit a new Grade 6 Composite Examination in 2028, in place of the Grade 7 PSLE.

Nothing changes overnight for a child already partway through primary school. Learners currently in Grade 5, 6 and 7 continue on the existing curriculum and sit the familiar Grade 7 PSLE, right up until the new system fully replaces it. We're tracking the transition closely and will keep our lessons, practice tests and revision material aligned with whichever curriculum your child is following.

New Upper Primary subjects (Grade 4 to 6)

Mathematics, Science and Technology Studies become compulsory to build stronger STEM foundations, and Science and Creative and Technology Studies are no longer taught as combined subjects.

English Language

Language of instruction and literacy skills, continuing to carry students through every subject.

Zambian Language

Taught as its own subject, connecting students to language and heritage.

Mathematics

Compulsory, with a stronger push towards STEM foundations.

Science

Now a standalone subject rather than part of Integrated Science.

Social Studies

Geography, history and civics, kept together at Primary level.

Technology Studies

Compulsory, building digital literacy alongside practical skills.

Expressive Arts or Home Economics

Learners choose one as an elective practical subject and Career Pathway foundation.

Our approach

Teaching that builds confidence, not just test scores

We focus on building genuine confidence in literacy and numeracy through consistent practice, alongside whatever a child is already learning at school. Our goal is a learner who feels ready and confident walking into every test and every school day, equipped with knowledge and real-world skills that carry them well beyond the classroom.
