Minister Pledges Government Support to MCA

Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Bright Msaka, SC, has pledged government support to the Malawi College of Accountancy (MCA) as it works to promote quality higher education.

The Minister made the pledge on Thursday, May 7 in Lilongwe during a courtesy meeting with representatives from the college.

Msaka noted that MCA’s hybrid status as government-owned but commercially operated has created funding and operational ambiguities.
Acknowledging the institution as part of government, the Minister urged the college to openly share its challenges so that the ministry can help address them.

MCA Registrar, Yotam Machila, highlighted several issues stemming from limited financial resources, including slow infrastructure development (such as hostels and classrooms) and insufficient student loans.

He called on the ministry to help tackle infrastructure challenges through the Public Sector Investment Programme (PSIP), to include MCA in broader higher education activities, and to provide needy students with full loans, just as other public universities do.
