Primary school is free for all children in Malawi. At Mulanje Mission, a large primary school holds over 4000 children during classes.

Primary education in Malawi faces many challenges, and Mulanje is no exception. A big problem is understaffing, which leads to very large class sizes (over 100 pupils per teacher is not rare to find).

Most of the classrooms do not have desks so the children sit on the floor, although recently at Mulanje Mission this improved with projects done by several churches.  Regularly groups also visited to help renovating classrooms,  classrooms one by one although after Covid-19 this has not restarted.
