Governance

The council is the governing body that provides policy direction. Council members are appointed by the Minister responsible for higher education on a 3-year term based on expertise and experience in higher education and research and ability to give guidance and advice on matters of higher education in the country to ensure that the functions of Council are discharged according to the highest professional standards.

The Council comprises twenty-one men and women with vast experience in higher education. Four Vice Chancellors in the Council are meant to represent all universities. It should be noted that these Vice Chancellors are not in Council to defend the positions of their universities and those of their colleagues but to serve the interests of the ZIMCHE, all universities, and all stakeholders.
