This course applies sociological theories to understand Zambian social structures, stratification, power dynamics, and cultural systems. Students examine issues such as rural-urban migration, gender roles, kinship networks, and the impact of globalisation on local communities, particularly in areas affected by the Mining sector. This analytical lens is vital for Community Development Practitioners to design context-sensitive interventions that address root causes of poverty and inequality, whether working with the Ministry of Local Government or NGOs like CARE International. 25schools enhances learning with applied case studies on Zambian social issues, frameworks for community profiling, and revision guides that help students at Apex and other institutions connect sociological concepts to real-world practice for both exams and effective field engagement.
