HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE STUDENT WELFARE PROGRAMME: STUDENT ACCOMMODATION

On 28th August 2026, The Legal Scholars' Guild of Zambia hosted a critical discussion on the student accommodation crisis, uncovering systemic barriers and safety risks facing students in both public and private universities with our speakers, former UNZASU Vice President Christopher Jambila and former UNILUS Law Association President, Mulubwa Chilando.

Accommodation in Public Universities: A Human Rights Perspective
Christopher Jambila, the former UNZASU Vice President, emphasised that the accommodation shortage in public institutions and noted
that the lack of inclusion of student voices in university decisions relating to student accommodation has inhibited their ability to make good decisions for students. He also noted that current systems often reward institutional stability over accountability, with administrators frequently only cooperating when faced with the threat of student protests.

The Private University Perspective: A Business Model at Students' Expense
Mulubwa Chilando, former UNILUS Law Association President, highlighted how private institutions often treat student housing as a "solve-yourself" situation with private universities often prioritising profitability and business interests, opting for informal agreements with external boarding houses instead of investing in on-campus infrastructure. He then noted that such arrangements greatly disadvantage students as they face exploitation in the private market, with some paying up to K2,500 per month just for a single bed space. In addition, he highlighted that reliance on external housing in high-crime areas exposes students to severe risks, including theft and violent attacks, as was noted with the recent incidences relating to Levy Mwanawasa Medical University students.

Mulubwa also noted that the current Higher Education Authority (HEA) standards treat student accommodation as "optional" rather than a mandatory requirement for university registration.

Pathways to Reform
The discussion concluded with a call for comprehensive legal and policy changes that would holistically deal with student accommodation.

Where do students sleep when there is no room left?

Across Zambia, student accommodation has become one of the quiet crises of higher education. Overcrowded hostels, unsafe off-campus housing, and rising rent are pushing students into impossible choices and too often, their voices are the last to be heard in the decisions that affect them.
TODAY, we are bringing this conversation to the table.
Join us for The Student Welfare Campaign as we dive into: Student Accommodation in Zambia , examining the housing crisis facing students, and the role of student unions, policy makers, and universities in securing safe, affordable, and adequate accommodation for all.

This is not just a discussion, it is a call to action. Because student welfare is not a favor institutions do for us. It is a right we must keep fighting for.
