Zambia’s Minister of Higher Education Nkundu Luo has called on female students to take their education seriously and stop spending time cooking for their boyfriends.

Kitwe Times said the Minister expressed disappointment that female students in some higher learning institutions have added extra responsibilities to their academic time-table.

“What I know is you come to school to learn and not to cook. Anybody who is doing that must stop, pay attention to school,” Prof Luo said.

“There is nothing exclusive for men, women can do anything. Boys should stop making girls to cook for you,” she said.
