DOMASI COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AND THE FRENCH EMBASSY STRENGTHEN PARTNERSHIP TO PROMOTE FRENCH LANGUAGE TEACHING

On Thursday, 29th January 2026, a delegation from the French Embassy in South Africa, Lesotho, and Malawi visited Domasi College of Education (DCE) to explore opportunities to strengthen the teaching of French as a foreign language in Malawi. The delegation met with DCE leadership, including Principal Dr. Arkangel Mtipe Yambeni, Deputy Principal Dr. Gilbert Phiri, the Dean of the Faculty of Language, Arts, and Communication, the Academic Registrar, and representatives from the Department of French.

During the discussions, DCE reaffirmed its commitment to expanding French language education by training more teachers and introducing beginner-level courses for students without prior knowledge of the language. The Embassy’s Education and French Cooperation Attaché, Mr. Johann Robinet, and Ms. Inès Schmitt, Cooperation Attaché to Malawi, welcomed these initiatives and pledged support in pedagogy and teaching materials. Both parties also emphasized the importance of establishing a long-term collaboration framework.

The delegation endorsed plans to create a “French Corner” and a resource center at DCE to provide authentic exposure to the French language and culture for students, faculty, and the wider community. Additional discussions with the French Department highlighted staff development opportunities through online and in-person training workshops, subject to funding availability, as part of broader efforts to enhance French language education.

In his remarks, Dr. Yambeni outlined his vision for the Faculty of Language, Arts, and Communication, which includes constructing a dedicated facility for the English, French, and Creative and Performing Arts departments. He appealed for continued support from the French Embassy and the international community to realize this vision.

Domasi College of Education Progresses with Construction of ODeL Hub under the SAVE Project

Domasi College of Education is proud to announce significant progress in the implementation of the Skills for a Vibrant Economy (SAVE) Project, a transformative initiative funded by the World Bank. As part of this Project, the College is currently constructing a state-of-the-art Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) Hub, which is expected to be completed by 15th April 2026.

The new ODeL Hub will be a modern two-storey building, adding not only to the academic capacity of the College but also to the overall aesthetics of the campus. Once completed, the facility will house several offices and workspaces for staff who coordinate ODeL programs, provide equipment for digital content creation, among others. This will greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of teaching and learning through distance and online platforms. Consequently, this will ensure that Domasi College of Education continues to play a leading role in the advancement of teacher education and capacity building in Malawi.

The ODeL Hub is envisioned as more than just an administrative center; it will stand as a symbol of innovation and resilience in education delivery, ensuring that learning opportunities are flexible, accessible, and inclusive. It reflects Domasi College of Education’s commitment to harnessing modern technologies to improve the quality of education in line with global trends.

We invite students, staff, stakeholders, and the wider community to follow the progress of this exciting Project as it unfolds. Below, are some images of the ODeL Centre construction as of now.
