Researchers have launched a three-year study spanning 2026 to 2029 to examine the future of Malawi's education sector following significant foreign aid cuts, according to allAfrica. The research will investigate how civil servants and non-governmental organisations are managing operations after the closure of various United States Agency for International Development programmes. The financial reductions have severely impacted the sector, as foreign governments previously contributed up to 80 percent of funding for Malawi's education capital.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education has announced 130 new scholarship opportunities from the Kingdom of Morocco, with applications remaining open until June 26, 2026, according to the ministry's official portal. In higher education financing, the Higher Education Students' Loans and Grants Board has updated its student financial management portal procedures ahead of the June 24 loan application deadline, according to the board's official website.
Separately, preparations are advancing for the third edition of the Africa Foundational Learning Exchange, known as FLEX2026, according to the Association for the Development of Education in Africa. Pre-summit materials were published this week for the major education conference, which will take place from July 15 to 17, 2026, at the Bingu Wa Mutharika International Convention Centre in Lilongwe to discuss foundational learning strategies.
