Kasungu LEA Primary School

Kasungu LEA Primary School is a government primary school in Bunda ward, Kasungu, in the Central Region of Malawi. The letters LEA, often written L.E.A., stand for Local Education Authority and mark a public school rather than one founded by a church or a private proprietor. The Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of centres lists "Kasungu L.E.A. School" as a polling centre in the Bunda ward of the Kasungu Municipal constituency, in the section for Kasungu Municipal Council. Primary education in Malawi runs from Standard 1 to Standard 8 and ends with the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). Results in the PSLCE decide selection to secondary school. Tuition has been free in government primary schools since 1994. Kasungu is the headquarters town of Kasungu District and is governed by its own municipal council, separately from the surrounding rural district. It lies about 130 kilometres north-west of Lilongwe and had 58,653 residents at the 2018 census. The district is known above all for tobacco growing; Kasungu National Park, opened in 1970, lies about 35 kilometres west of the town, and Hastings Banda, Malawi's first president, was born on a farm nearby. The school has not published a telephone number, term dates or enrolment figures online, so it is worth asking locally before travelling.
