Basic Education in Malawi places emphasis on free basic education, but struggles to maintain a focus on other important factors of education, especially that of out-of-school youth education and special needs education. There is currently a programme for out-of-school youth, but it is a relatively new programme, and suffers from a lack of relevant curriculum for out-of-school youth, weak linkages among youth service providers/policy makers and poor access for most youth.
