Educate citizens to meditate
On willingness to acquire diplomas
Through diligence when they hesitate
To cheat without any complicity cabals or duplicity dramas.
Educate citizens to refrain
From cheating, from copying
If they can't stand the strain
To study sets of notes and sums without spying.
Educate citizens to adopt integrity
As a progressive culture
That steers Zambia to maturity
With no student turning into a vampire or a vulture.
Educate citizens to sacrifice time
Effort and comfort to earn honest qualifications
Without thinking education is cheaper than the dime
That comes from malpractice notions and actions.
