Alice Gwengwe Secondary School

Alice Gwengwe Secondary School is a secondary school at Linthipe, on the M1 road in Dedza district, in the Central Region of Malawi. Its candidates appear in public university admissions: the University of Malawi's first-year selection list for the 2025/26 academic year includes students entered under the name Alice Gwengwe Foundation. The Alice Gwengwe Foundation is listed in the biography of Sosten Gwengwe among the schools he founded, together with Dzuka Girls Secondary School, Dzuka Girls Primary School, Dzuka Private Academy, the Sosten Gwengwe Foundation and Gwengwe Private Academy. Gwengwe is a Malawian politician who represented Dedza Central in Parliament from 2009 to 2014 and has sat for Lilongwe Msozi North since 2017. He has twice served as Minister of Trade and was Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs from 2022 to 2023. Secondary education in Malawi runs from Form 1 to Form 4 and ends with the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). The MSCE is the qualification on which selection to the public universities is based. Linthipe is one of Dedza district's smaller market towns, with a post office, police station, shops and a market; the Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register lists Linthipe School and Linthipe EPA as registration centres in the Dedza Kasina constituency. The M1, the main road linking Lilongwe with Blantyre, runs through the district, and the district town of Dedza lies 85 km south of Lilongwe. The district had 830,512 residents at the 2018 census and contains the Chongoni Rock Art Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fees, enrolment and admission arrangements have not been published online, so it is worth confirming details before travelling.
