Effectiveness of the Management of Education Program in Malawi Prisons

The majority of prison stations in Malawi are now offering education services to inmates. However, the question that one can ask is; are these schools effectively managed? This study set out to examine the internal effectiveness of the management of the education programme in Malawi prisons. The key finding of this study was that the management of education programme in Malawi prisons was not effective in terms of its management structures, resources availability and teachers‟ capacities. The implication of the findings of this study is that there is a need for the prison authorities and the Ministry of Education to work together to effectively manage education activities in prisons.
