Abstract: Education is a fundamental human right and a key driver of sustainable national development. In rural Zambia, particularly Nchelenge District, accessing quality education is fraught with challenges. This study uses a mixed-methods approach combining surveys, interviews, and document analysis to identify core barriers including poverty, infrastructure deficits, geographical isolation, and limited community participation. Findings call for holistic, context-sensitive interventions to enhance educational outcomes.
