HEA BOASTS 2ND BEST PUBLICATION IN ZAMBIA
A Message from the Director-General of the Higher Education Authority, Professor Kazhila C. Chinsembu, on the Authority’s Triumph At 2025 ZIPRC Awards
Greetings!
It is with immense pleasure that I announce the Higher Education Authority’s (HEA) latest achievement. At the 14th Public Relations Conference and Awards Gala held by the Zambia Institute of Public Relations and Communication (ZIPRC), the Authority’s in-house designed publication was recognised as the 2nd Best Publication in Zambia, a testament to the dedication, excellence, and innovation that drives our institution forward.
The significance of this triumph is not about the placement but it is a resounding declaration of HEA’s unwavering commitment to effective communication and public engagement. To be recognised as the second-best in the nation is an extraordinary feat, reflecting the high standards we set for ourselves and the impact of our work in shaping the higher education landscape. Next year, we aim for nothing less than the top spot!
This recognition belongs to the entire HEA family, particularly the Corporate Communications Unit, whose tireless efforts ensure that the Authority’s voice remains authoritative, informative, and engaging. Their dedication to crafting compelling narratives, maintaining transparency, and upholding the highest standards of public relations has played a pivotal role in securing this honour.
A special commendation goes to Mr. Birbal Boniface Musoba, our Corporate Communications Officer, whose vision and relentless pursuit of excellence have propelled HEA’s newsletters and publications to new heights. Through his leadership, our communications continue to serve as a bridge between HEA and the public, fostering trust and understanding in the higher education sector.
HEA was also nominated for Best Public Relations Campaign for our widely acclaimed radio programme, Higher Education Hour. This nomination underscores the Authority’s role in driving meaningful conversations on higher education policy and governance. Rest assured, Higher Education Hour will return stronger and more impactful than ever!
This achievement highlights the crucial role of public relations and communication in corporate governance. Transparent and effective communication strengthens institutions, enhances stakeholder engagement, and ensures that the public remains well-informed. At HEA, we recognise that our ability to regulate, accredit, and promote quality higher education is significantly reinforced by our commitment to strategic communication.
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain steadfast in our mission to be the gold standard in higher education regulation and communication. This award is a stepping stone towards even greater accomplishments, and together, we shall continue to raise the bar.
Congratulations once again to the Corporate Communications Unit and the entire HEA family. Onward and upward!
