The march on World Workers Day, more commonly referred to as Labour Day in Zambia, was held under the theme “Accelerating Socio-economic transformation through sustainable and decent job creation amidst Covid-19”.

The march started from the Lusaka Municipal Council offices, otherwise known as the local civic centre, and ended at the freedom statue, where the Head of State, His Excellency Hakainde Hichilema was seated, among other dignitaries.

The Labour Day march acted as an opportunity for the Unicaf University team to interact with other companies and advertise and showcase the Unicaf University brand across Zambia.

A number of Unicaf University staff attended and were all proud to spread brand awareness for Unicaf University across Zambia.

We would like to thank the following staff for their commitment to this wonderful cause on behalf of Unicaf University Zambia:

Cost-Effectiveness: Online Vs Traditional University

Online learning is gaining credibility as more renowned universities shift to online programmes to accommodate more students worldwide. Online universities have grown in popularity as they are considerably less expensive than traditional ones. International students can earn an equivalent to an on-campus degree while paying less for tuition. Moreover, online education is more affordable as you avoid expenses like accommodation,�� transportation and other living costs. When choosing a traditional university, students must budget carefully as living expenses, and tuition fees in many western countries are quite high. Fortunately, though, both options can be more affordable if a candidate is awarded a scholarship.��

Eco-Friendly Studies

Online universities are not only affordable but also “greener” than on-campus ones. Online institutions, their staff, faculty and students all make a positive impact on the environment. Firstly, they do not have to commute to school, and thus they decrease their carbon footprint. Secondly, all study material is online (saving tons of paper waste); thirdly, schools significantly reduce their energy consumption by providing their curricula online.��

Flexibility Of Online and Traditional Universities

Working professionals, mothers and fathers with family and other commitments can benefit from flexible online programmes that allow them to arrange their studies around their busy schedule. While online learning enables students to control study timetables, traditional learning is more rigid and structured as students need to be present in lectures. Therefore, online universities are perfect for busy adults who want to arrange their own study time and be accountable for their learning. Traditional studies, au contraire, are more suitable for students who lack concentration and need more face-to-face guidance to complete their coursework. Especially younger students who need tutor support during their first semesters. Meanwhile, postgraduate students can study more independently as they have the experience to research, analyse and conduct assignments with less assistance.

Communication and Computer Skills

Due to the recent COVID19 crisis, educational tools that support virtual lessons have been deployed to assist millions of university students who were restricted due to lockdowns. E-learning is not just watching recorded lectures; learners can experience the whole student journey without leaving their houses. Digital learning platforms include highly effective virtual rooms, internal communication for student support, extensive e-libraries, video tutorials, forums, podcasts, webinars, coursework planning boards and many more.�� During the induction module of an online university, online students learn how to use all these tools to maximise learning. Since online learning relies heavily on technology, students develop computer skills that are useful for their future workplaces. Recent surveys show that many employers hire computer literate graduates who know how to manage multiple tools effectively. Undoubtedly, online learning is an excellent method for learners to improve their computer and communication skills.

At the same time, students who study on campus need to attend conferences, workshops and organise group meetings with fellow students to carry out group projects. There is more face-to-face communication, interaction and socialising with classmates. But, it is more time consuming and stressful for the more timid students who do not enjoy social and academic gatherings. For this reason, many educators claim that many learners would benefit from a option instead. Through blended learning, learners can attend on-ground activities that increase student engagement and use technology to enhance their studies.��

Accessibility and Student Life

The greatest advantage of online learning is that it has made higher education more accessible and viable for international students regardless of their location, socioeconomic status and background. Getting into a prestigious university is nowadays easier for anyone who meets the academic criteria. Earning a quality degree online is an excellent option for people who live on a different continent. Thanks to technology, tertiary education is more inclusive as it caters for students from different backgrounds. Conversely, a traditional university can be a good choice for those who want to combine travelling and studying abroad. Many international students crave to experience student life, new customs, traditions, meet new people, and pursue a career abroad.��

There is no right or wrong choice; students should weigh the pros and cons and decide according to their own learning style and circumstances.

Unicaf published its Responsible and Sustainable Business Plan 2021-2025, setting out its targets for the next five years to support the statement of commitment. Taking its lead from six of the����and��, the Plan offers tangible and measurable targets that focus on outputs rather than inputs, seeking to have the most positive impact in the 12 countries it operates in. The full Plan will be available through the forthcoming updated Unicaf website. ��Implementation of the plan will be led by the Chair of the Unicaf ESG Steering Group (an external executive) and governed by the main Board of Directors.

The headlines of Unicaf’s Responsible and Sustainable Business Plan 2021-2025 are the early steps Unicaf has taken to achieve net-zero carbon by 2035 – setting the example for all other global HE providers – and offer $200,000,000 worth of scholarships to students worldwide.

The future targets (to 2025) and summary of progress to date:

SDG-4/Africa2063-1.6:

Future – offer $200,000,000 worth of scholarships

Current – 100% but newly locations will need to be afforded the same award

SDG-12/Africa2063-1,3,4,6:

Future – net-zero carbon by 2035

Current – under review by sustainability consultants

Note: SDG12 selected over SDG13 owing to the online nature of Unicaf’s delivery model; SDG13 is more suited to traditional campus-based institutions.

SDG-17/Africa2063-7:

Future – 100% of HE programmes include free online training on sustainable goals setting and delivery

Current – area of development

Future – work with 50 partners on research projects in key areas to support the promotion of sustainable practices (knowledge transfer)

Current – area of development

In summary, Unicaf noted the many examples across the sector where vice-chancellors had declared climate emergencies, but little or no action had been taken.�� For some, their websites promised a great deal but offered no tangible evidence of delivery or impact.�� Unicaf is promising to deliver against challenging targets to positively impact students, staff, partners, and the communities it serves worldwide.�� These efforts are championed by the entire organisation and driven from the top, externally guided, monitored and verified.

The MBA is the “king” of all Master’s degrees but many speculated that its popularity would incline as the interest shifted towards more tech degrees. Nevertheless, the rapid growth of digital finance, investment, and cryptocurrency has transformed the previously rigid MBA degrees. For this reason, universities and business schools updated their curriculum to embrace the new digital era.

Digital finance provides several advantages for developing economies as it increases investments between providers and individuals (Ozili, 2018). Nowadays, financial inclusion has significantly accelerated the speed of product and service delivery in businesses (Shofawati 2019). As the digital economy is evolving rapidly, technology and business must go hand in hand to achieve economic growth.

Uncovering Myths

When thinking of an MBA in Finance many conceptualise a very math-oriented degree; however, this is a preconceived opinion. When studying for a finance degree, learners primarily develop management and analytical skills. Also, they learn how to use their observation skills and achieve realistic financial goals for different enterprises. It is a versatile programme that focuses on understanding core principles, applying contemporary theories and evaluating business functions.

Another misconception is that finance experts work behind piles of papers and barely interact with other professionals. In fact, experts in the field of finance use their communication skills as they need to negotiate to reach an agreement. Also, they learn how to explain complex data and figures in simple words. Finance experts meticulously plan their speeches and proposals to deal with customers, suppliers and investors and avoid conflict of interest. Therefore, it is a job where they can also develop leadership skills as they facilitate growth within the company.

The Great Possibilities of an MBA in Finance��

World’s leading finance and investment firms worldwide recruit MBA in Finance graduates who have a deep understanding of corporate finance, banking, and strategic management. Finance analysts and experts are the ones responsible for the smooth operation of the markets and financial institutions. As more companies and governments worldwide adopt digitalisation and new technologies to be more competitive, the demand for finance experts increases.

MBA in Finance graduates can work in various sectors beyond banking and investment as nearly all businesses carry out financial activities and operations. Employers are looking for individuals who can run their financial services, perform market analysis, forecast, negotiate, prepare budgets and many more. Finance is simply everywhere; for this, professionals enjoy lucrative careers and high salaries in a very stable and in-demand profession.

Learning has moved Online��

As many aspiring finance students already work and have other commitments, online learning is the most suitable study method to improve their career development. Top-tier universities use online platforms to accommodate international students and working professionals. An online MBA in Finance allows students to access a network of experts and industry professionals and build relationships with potential employers or associates. Traditional degrees are more restricting as students interact mainly with classmates and professors. On the other hand, online students can experience firsthand the application of technologies in education. They collaborate in virtual group projects, research extensive e-libraries, and analyse online markets. Also, students can benefit from their online classes as they can manage their studying time and maximise their productivity.

Most importantly, students learn how to reason internet information and assess trends while studying online. There is no question that we live in a digital era, and businesses are participating actively in this digital race.

Internationally Recognised Degrees

Acquiring an online MBA in Finance enables aspiring professionals to pursue a career in multiple areas and businesses. However, as it is a very competitive workplace, candidates with recognised qualifications are preferred. Therefore, postgraduate students should make an informed choice when it comes to the university and the programme they want to study for. MBA in Finance programme is accredited and internationally recognised and ideal for working professionals who want to network with business professionals while studying. Learners can enjoy a flexible study mode and manage their own time effectively and study at their own pace.

Quality Education and Equity

What might be taken for granted by many, like the ability to go to university, is impossible for others. Unfortunately, education still remains a privilege and not a right. Many have argued that education is not a priority where poverty reigns. Yet that’s precisely the root of the problem. Unquestionably, teaching and learning are our greatest tools to eradicate poverty, as we can use knowledge to create “healthy” societies. Education is a universal equaliser, which can break the chain of poverty, strengthening both the individual and the community.��

So, how can we help the ones most in need to access quality higher education?

One would think that governments and people in power should work to increase access to quality education. However, is everyone who holds power willing to make an impact? As long as access to higher education is still alarmingly low in sub-Saharan countries, especially for women, it is evident that we still have a long way to go (Unesco, 2018).��

Increasing access to quality higher education

International Education Day is not just another day on the calendar for the Unicaf organisation. Unicaf has been working in sub-Saharan countries to increase access to quality higher education. Unicaf scholars can make a difference in their families’ lives and their countries’ development, even before they graduate. Educated young people have the power and the confidence to work for the elimination of illiteracy and poverty if we support their efforts. Through the Unicaf Scholarship Programme, underprivileged students can gain modern knowledge and skills and immediately apply them at the workplace.

A well-educated workforce is the most effective way to accelerate national development, encourage productivity, and foster better working and living conditions. The quality, cutting-edge higher education provided by Unicaf enables the transformation of lives. Learning from experts can inspire future generations to envision a better world. For all of these reasons, Unicaf promotes quality tertiary education in Africa and other parts of the world, through partnerships with renowned universities in the UK, the USA and Europe.

Education’s greatest tool

Sadly, people living in remote areas, people with physical disabilities and family carers cannot commute to university campuses. Besides, the pandemic has shown that even those who can attend on-campus studies could not access lecture halls in times of crisis. In other words, not even privileged students with a strong support system can enjoy campus learning during such challenging times.

And this is where technology has proven to be a real gift.�� Even though it might seem impossible to provide equal access to quality higher education worldwide, technology makes this easier.

Online learning allows people living in any country to connect with the internet and “attend” university thousands of miles away. Instead of commuting to university, the university comes to the student’s home through online learning.��

Studying online through Unicaf for an internationally recognised degree is definitely empowering young students. They can discover new practices and broaden their skillset while working. Moreover, a degree can increase their confidence and help them become leaders in their communities. Students of all nationalities and cultural backgrounds are welcomed into virtual classrooms to start a new chapter in their lives. They build lifelong international friendships and pave the way for professional partnerships in the future.

The importance of universities

University campuses remain important hubs for the production of new knowledge through research. Universities can inspire innovation and development in industry, business and commerce. However, as demand for university places rises dramatically, online learning becomes a necessity. The combination of online and on-campus studies can provide a third option, offering a host of additional benefits to students.����

The road to equitable, quality higher education available to all is long and bumpy. Governments and civic society bear the responsibility to support this ongoing effort.��

Unicaf celebrates education with generous scholarships and a state-of-the-art digital platform for online learning. Unicaf proves that the precious gift of quality higher education can be enjoyed by all, especially those who need it the most.

Blindfolded guidance?

University counsellors, education agents, and career experts in many countries offer their support and assistance to students who wish to complete their application forms. Additionally, they provide specialist guidance and advice on selecting institutions, degrees, career options, and the whole university experience. Even though it sounds “safer” to rely on experts, this can be an expensive service with many’ grey areas’ due to biased information. In many cases, students rarely participate in the university admission process and are even led to choose the wrong programmes. Many agents work with specific institutions and tend to send students to the universities that they represent.

Advice from within your trusted circle

If you need guidance but cannot or do not want to rely on agents, maybe you should seek the advice of those who know you best. Start your research on universities and their admissions processes, speak to your teachers, mentors, or anyone you look up to and trust, and begin as early as possible. Take in their advice, sit down and make a plan. There is a lot of useful information available on the web, university websites, and career fairs; and our motivation can be triggered by all these external factors that direct our goals (Deckers, 2014). And what can be more motivational and inspirational than watching real����from successful graduates when contemplating your university admission?

Goal Setting��

“Writing down our goals and having a clear purpose helps us perform better and improves our self-determination” (Locke and Latham, 2006). In other words, we should visualise our objectives and find strategies that will help us break down our goals into achievable steps. Firstly, create a map with multiple university application steps to your ultimate career goal, to direct your journey. Afterwards, try to assess how achievable your career goal is – this assessment will guide your search in the right direction. Finally, toss all negative thoughts and aim for the best possible result!

University admission process

��

Gather all the necessary documents in advance

Your application form is key to gaining entry. Unquestionably, this procedure might be daunting to some, but you can complete it effortlessly if you are well-prepared and concentrated on achieving your goal. We tend to feel stressed when we juggle many tasks, so first, set your priorities straight. Collect all important and necessary documents and make sure you complete them as required. Below is a list of the most typical documents requested by universities during the admissions process:

Important Admission Documents

• Qualifications
• Identification cards or passport and personal documents
• Recommendation Letters
• Certificates and Transcripts
• CV
• Personal Statement
• Letter of recommendation

Don’t panic

Above all, do not be overwhelmed by the blank fields you have to fill in; it’s just another form! Staying calm and having a clear mind is imperative when completing a form. Read through the instructions carefully and follow what is required by the form. Go step by step and remember you can sign back in at any time.

Don’t procrastinate

Unsurprisingly, we sabotage our efforts when we set mental obstacles or slack off, lose interest, or even get tired. Keep reminding yourself what your goal is and to try to stay on track by regularly reviewing your form. Let someone know that you have an application to submit to remind you to finish it.

��

Common mistakes to avoid in your application

Admissions professionals at Unicaf have narrowed down the most common application form mistakes they encounter and shed light on what causes some students to miss their chance.

Letter of recommendation

Recommendation letters are at the top of the admissions committee’s list. Applicants fail when they do not provide personalised recommendation letters and compromise with standard texts that do not illustrate their accomplishments, work ethic, or aptitude. Ask your referees to write recommendation letters that demonstrate your unique skills, traits, and capabilities related to your chosen field of study. Finally, your letter of recommendation should not repeat the information already presented in your personal statement.

Personal statement

A personal statement that is not personal. Overall, university admission officers and instructors expect to see indications that the programme you apply for suits you. Your personal statement must show your motivation, understanding of the subjects to be studied, and your vision. Your personal statement must engage the reader and make them interested in you. Don’t exaggerate, though, as fancy words can make you sound pretentious. Try to keep it real and simple. Finally, have someone else read your personal statement aloud and don’t forget to check your grammar and spelling.

Choosing the right programme

You will be surprised by the number of students that get this wrong. Recent surveys show that more than 50% of students in the US find it hard to choose the right programme (Ellucian, 2019). Instructors at ��warn how crucial it is to understand the programme you are applying for. Bear in mind that many degrees “sound similar” or share common modules before you select one. First and foremost, read the course content and structure and then assess whether this new knowledge and skills could refine your professional environment.

Perfection is in the details

Every bit of information is important for your university admissions, so do not underestimate every detail and even the smallest fields. Check everything twice; do not rush and submit your application form with confidence and prepare to embark on a new learning experience!

A life-changing opportunity

What do Jeff Bezos (Amazon founder and CEO), Steve Ballmer (former CEO of Microsoft), and Stephenie Meyer (novelist and author of the Twilight series) have in common? They were all scholarship recipients. Their careers and lives probably would not have been the same if they had not gone to university. What they needed was an opportunity – a great push to get them where they are. Besides notable people, many successful individuals around us received life-changing scholarships. However, “gardens are not made by sitting in the shade”, so do not sit back and wait for help. Start your research today as there is something greater out there that might have slipped your attention.

Lost in search

Who can fund my master’s degree? Who offers scholarships for UK degrees? How do I convince them to sponsor me? How do I even start?

Have you ever asked yourself these questions while trying to figure out your next move? Finding answers, and especially on the Internet, can be very challenging and time-consuming. Also, you might find it hard to trust anyone on the web claiming to offer scholarships. Consequently, you would not dare to apply at any random website. What if we told you that Unicaf might be what you needed all along? Simply because Unicaf offers a straightforward funding programme for international students wishing to earn a UK degree.

A silver lining��

Numbers matter

Unicaf.org has offered more than $100 million worth of scholarships to 30,000 students; a very grand and generous scheme that has also been mentioned in many independent reviews and articles worldwide. Now you may wonder: so anyone can get a scholarship?

Well, like all funding programmes, there must be some standards. Unicaf has a specific set of criteria that the candidates must meet to receive a scholarship.

Recognised Degrees��

Receiving funding for a UK Master’s degree can be very appealing to students who have high expectations. Undeniably, ambitious yet capable students seek courses that would increase their career options. These courses, though, can be the most pricey ones. For this very reason, Unicaf has partnered with reputable UK universities that offer distinguished yet affordable degrees.��

Master’s Funding and set your Mind Free

Master’s degrees are not effortless. Studies demand full concentration and commitment. As you develop analytical and research skills, you enrich your learning experience and work towards expertise. Furthermore, professors deliver high-quality content for you to “absorb”, comprehend to apply later on. A master’s degree can have its challenges but can skyrocket your career. What inhibits you from getting it? The thoughts of never being able to repay the debts. Dropping out, dissatisfied students, careers dead-ends, depression; clearly due to the high cost of tertiary education. That is why funding your master’s degree can be liberating.

Tuition fees have burdened many young people financially and pushed others to abandon their dreams as the high cost was discouraging. Without a doubt, a scholarship is one way to earn a degree and start your career debt-free. Unfortunately, many talented but disadvantaged students get to study in western universities with great financial support. However, this is not a privilege just for the ones who study abroad. Unicaf is offering generous scholarships to eligible students for online programmes, receiving the same education through distance learning.��

• Education is “online”, are you?

In the past international students with scholarships attended lessons onsite, leaving behind everything and everyone they cared about to pursue a better life. Returning home seemed impossible as they could grow professionally elsewhere. Nowadays, higher education has become more accessible through e-learning. Evidently, technology is allowing us to invest more in ourselves without sacrificing what we love and value. Therefore, qualified students do not have to migrate, as they can build a career and a better future in their home countries. Many successful graduates empower local societies by applying the understanding and skills they gain from their Master’s degrees.

��

• Success story

Unicaf family has many members that their success stories are true inspirations. Students whose willpower and thirst for knowledge has helped them overcome tough obstacles and complete their degrees. Receiving a Unicaf scholarship was their “breakthrough”, a motivation to keep them on their feet and appreciate their studies even more. As a result, they earned the trust of many well-established institutions as part of their teams, became entrepreneurs, associates, leaders, educators and many more. Start your success story with a scholarship, explore online accredited Master’s degrees offered by our partner UK universities here.

What is almost most surprising is that many countries that we traditionally considered to be at higher risk for epidemics, such as in sub-Saharan Africa, than countries with a well-funded healthcare system. The main reason suggested is that it was much better prepared as countries and the general public has learned from previous outbrakes of Ebola, yellow fever, etc. People reacted quickly, with the community stepping up, and this has led to a relatively low impact on the region.

A significant change that came with the pandemic was a change of the way we do even the most mundane tasks. Doing business required sitting together in a meeting room, learning meant going to school, shopping meant going to the market or the mall and going to a government office meant standing in barely moving lines. Many of these things have now changed dramatically. Many of us now do meetings digitally, order online, get papers renewed online or at least the line at the government office has transformed into long waiting periods on the phone, and learning has gone digital. Children and adults are not required to do at least some of their classes online in many jurisdictions.

With the first real tangible successful news emerging the past few days about , there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Many measures taken are bound to end, and life will more or less return to a near pre-COVID-19 situation within the next year or two. That does not mean, however, that everything will go back to exactly the way it was in 2019. Businesses, governments, healthcare providers, schools and universities have invested heavily in their IT infrastructure and will most likely keep the beneficial parts for the future. The pandemic was a wake-up call for many to invest in digitalisation finally.

As 2021 seems to bring much-needed ease on expenditures and a return to economic growth, it is time to look past that light at the end of the tunnel to what lies ahead. Sub-Saharan Africa’s in 2021 and people that have mastered the challenges we are now facing are expected to take control and steer businesses, schools and governments into the right direction.

Having learned to operate independently, even from remote locations, have helped people to take their own ideas and turn them into action. We have become more adaptable, resourceful and strengthened. Now it’s time to take these attributes to build your future.

Like most of us, many schools have adapted to the new norm. The change has proven challenging though for even some of the most elite schools as, according to the , only 5% of the college budget spending was on IT. While some did indeed create a working online learning model, some opted for the very similarly-sounding, but fundamentally different approach of . While online learning offers a digitally-based online learning platform that creates an electronic classroom environment, distance learning has a tutor sending information and assignments digitally to the students without a one-stop-shop eLearning portal.

Distance learning, while a reasonably good quick fix for a short time, can leave some students who struggle to work on their own merits behind solely. Also, due to challenging thoughts are often ignored as there is no comfortable back and forth interaction between teachers and students.

Setting up a and internal system from scratch, even with a large budget, is a long process needs to incorporate almost all aspects of a university and combine them into one simple application.

Unicaf is collaborating with leading universities since 2012 to offer underserved markets access to quality higher education with affordable fees.
