INTRODUCTION
The Zambian School Guide is an ONLINE Magazine which was first published in November 2014. The magazine was set up by local entrepreneurs who saw a gap in the market with regards to information on good schools, educational services and products. The Magazine is published Termly and is available in all leading supermarkets, book shops, gas station Quick Shops, air lines and Street book sellers. PURPOSE
For Parents
The magazine can be used by parents with school going children as a tool, to not only locate schools, but to also obtain information with regards to the Spirit of the various schools. This will allow them to make better informed decisions. Increasingly, most households have both parents working late hours to provide for their families and to secure their children’s future by providing good education. In order to provide a good education, the children need to go to good schools. But because of the long hours that parents work, they find little time to look at various options, as it would entail taking time off to visit various institutions. Parents therefore mostly depend on word of mouth from friends or workmates to make decisions on which schools to take their children to. As much as it is a good thing to hear from friends or relatives the best is for one to find a suitable school or college based on adequate information. THE GUIDE TO ZAMBIAN SCHOOLS gives you the information that you need to make an informed decision, as you are seated at your office, at lunch break or at home. We will help you find your dream and school for your child without stressing. The School guide gives you the chance to review different schools both government and private, from nursery t university level, in the comfort of your office or home. In addition, the School Guide gives you the opportunity not only to look at the potential schools for your nursery, primary or secondary school going children, but also your preferred College or University. Our School Guide has information from Baby Class to University and that is why it is a tool and not just a magazine. Students
The magazine will also be of interest to students not only to select the school of their choice, but also because of the awards and prize giving competitions that they could win based on academic achievement, performance in grades, and contribution of educational and child youth building related articles to the magazine. children’s rights, child abuse, career choices, HIV/AIDS e.t.c. Students will also buy the magazine not only to find out who is enrolling, but also to see which companies or institutions are offering financial aid (bursaries) if they qualify, and how they can acquire them. Schools
Schools will advertise with the magazine not only to get students to enrol with them, but also to determinate information about the school itself and their activities. This will help the school build a good information channel between them, the public, the parents and the students, as help build a good reputation for the school. For the general public
The magazine also has educational and informative articles in ever issue which are of interest to the public which fall under the topics: THE RESEARCHER, HEALTH CORNER, ADVICE CORNER, TECHNO SPACE, YOUR CHILD AND YOU, THE BANK AND YOU, CHILD PROTECTION AND YOUTH BUILDING, and ENTERTAINMENT. For Advertises
The Magazine has the ability to find its reader in the comfort of their home or office at any time. It has the following other advantages:
• It is a trusted information centre for the reader
• It is cheaply sourced by anyone.
• It is highly Mobile which in turn makes it easy to break boundaries.
• It brings out real life Stories that the reader faces in daily Life. As a result of the above, the magazine is a good place to advertise your products, as the advertisement will be seen by many readers. In as much as it is a School guide, we also believe that the reader will be interested to know about companies who support School related Programs e.g. Banks that have saving accounts for school going Children, Insurance companies that offer insurance products for children’s education and life assurance in case of death of the bread winner of the Family etc. Companies in such businesses can therefore advertise in the magazine and reach their potential customers.

With a young celebrity pastor, actor, and father, who youths can relate to and someone they feel can “understand” theme advising them, little is bound to go past their attention. We realize that this generation seems to know it all so we gave them again a place to see that they need to hear from other people.

We all know that the number one topic on the mouths of most youths today is entertainment, and we want to use this forum to reach them. In every issue of the magazine we will have a cut away poster on the center piece of the magazine on a celebrity that we chose. In picking this celebrity we chose someone that youth’s love but can also learn something positive from.
