Abstract
This paper is part of the
study that was conducted in selected secondary schools and teacher training
institutions on the key factors responsible for preventing students from
studying fine art at college or University in Zambia. The study sought to
establish factors that hinder fine art students in the Northern Province of
Zambia from proceeding to college or university to pursue fine art/applied
courses and mainly explore opinions of teachers, students and other
stakeholders concerning the fine art subjects’ progress. A total number of 92
respondents of which 47 were the Grade twelve learners together with 20
teachers as respondents as well as 10 senior lecturers, 5 cultural officers, 5
education planning officers and 5 Senior Education Standards officer (SESOs),
in the Northern Province of Zambia. The study adopted a qualitative approach
were a descriptive design was engaged and a questionnaire and unstructured
interview were used for data collection. The study established that a majority
of the school leavers were not aware of many fine/applied arts programs and
other matters related to fine art as a profession and also revealed that
colleges and universities in Zambia were not provided with necessary facilities
and lacked qualified, trained and experienced teachers to offer appropriate, attractive
and marketable fine art programs. Therefore, the paper recommends that the
government as a matter of urgency should get ideas from other countries that
are doing better and update the facilities and equipment of fine/applied art, establish
more Fine Art schools, colleges/universities and there must be an equal
attention to all the categories of all pupils, students and teachers who study
fine art.
