The number of children enroling in government schools at the lower primary levels has dropped over the past decade.
Classrooms are often delapidated and overcrowded, and teachers are badly paid and lacking motivation.
Many of the poorest families cannot afford the fee charged by government institutions, so they have set up community schools where children are taught for free.
But the conditions in these schools are even worse. There are often no books, no pens and pencils, no desks, no blackboards, and the teachers are untrained and unpaid.
On a recent visit to the country, Glenys Kinnock, a British member of the European parliament, said she was appalled by the difficulties facing Zambia's children.
It is the young who are bearing the brunt of the country's social and economic difficulties.
Under the recovery programme guided by the International Monetary Fund, school fees have been increased while spending on education has been cut.
The country also pays more servicing its international debt than it does on health and education combined.
The HIV/Aids pandemic is also taking its toll. Last year, more teachers died of Aids than passed through teacher training.
Oxfam says Zambia's difficulties are shared by many developing nations. It says that if the decline is to be halted, a new pact between rich and poor nations must be devised.
Governments in the developing world must spend more money on education, and Western nations should give more aid, and speed up debt relief.
