Mzuzu (Maravipost)—Malawi National Examination board (MANEB) has not yet paid teachers who invigilated the 2017 Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) examination, Maravi Post has learnt.
Speaking in an interview with Times Radio, Teachers Union of Malawi (TUM) General Secretary Charles Kumchenga lamented the conduct of MANEB and said that they are still waiting for the Zomba based examination body to give them money.
MANEB is supposed to pay about K1.2 billion to the invigilators. The body admitted that it is broke and that it has requested the Ministry of Finance to bail it out.
MANEB spokesperson Simeon Maganga said that the board is trying its level best to push the Ministry of Finance to give them the money.
However, Kumchenga is not amused with MANEB’s exploitative conduct. He argued that it does not make sense for MANEB to behave in this manner cognizant of the fact that the body abolished administration of Junior Certificate Examination in the name of saving money.
He lamented that it does not make sense for TUM to be complaining of the same problem every year.

ZOMBA-(MaraviPost)-The Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB), this week said the just ended Primary Leaving School Certificate of Education (PLSCE)-standard eight examinations were successful, with only a few cheating cases having been registered.
The standard eight exams started on May 17 and ended on May 19, 2017. The exams were taken in all primary schools across the nation; with cheating cases registered in three places in Blantyre rural and urban, and Mangochi districts.
In all the cheating cases, the alleged suspects were arrested for contravening regulations guiding the proper conduct of national examinations.
But MANEB is yet to pay officers who helped in conducting the exams. The national examination Board has apologized for the anomaly, with an assurance that the affected invigilators will get their allowances as soon as possible.
In a summary press statement released on Saturday, and made available to The Maravi Post the Board lauded all stakeholders for owning the exams, hence a few cheating cases and zero exams leakage.
The Board said the cheating cases recorded during the exams, were as a result of tip-offs received from the public through direct phone calls, messages through MANEB Face book page, TNM toll-free line, and the Biard WhatsApp account number.
MANEB said delivery of all examination materials, including candidates’ identity cards, was done on time and that all designated examination administration centers, successfully administered the examinations without fail.
The examination body however, said that it was not able to pay allowances before the beginning of the examinations due to challenges beyond its control, but the Board assured the concerned that the payments are being processed to pay those that took part in the exercise.
“The Board is currently working tooth and nail to ensure that the forth-coming 2017 Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) examinations should not face the same challenge. It’s for this reason MANEB would like to thank all stakeholders and the public for owning the national examinations, and participating in the exercise. MANEB will continue engaging various stakeholders in its quest to make examination malpractices history for the general good of our country,” reads the MANEB’s statement.
About 271, 000 candidates registered for the 2017 Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE) examinations.
ZOMBA-(MaraviPost)-The Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) this week said, all is set to administer this year’s examination, starting with Primary Leaving School Certificate of Education (PLSCE)-Standard eight, slated for Wednesday, May 17 across the country.
Manebo has therefore introduced a WhatsApp account: +265884049215, which is intended and expecting to increase its engagement with the public on any exams concerns.
The number will also be used for whistleblowers on any malicious practice during the entire exams period, where all concerns will be addressed.
According to the board, the number is not a WhatsApp Group, but just a WhatsApp account that no one will be added. It will only get direct feedback from the public privately and freely.
MANEBO Spokesperson Simeon Maganga, said that the board has made great strides in preparing for the 2017 PLSCE.
Maganga expects less cheating this year, due to various intervention MANEB established ahead of the exams, including mass campaigns and introduction of the WhatsApp account number.
“Since the highest recorded percentage of cheating in 2002 at 8%, the board has made progress in fighting exam malpractices, and the numbers have since declined.
“Just this previous year on cheating in exams, the percentage was less than 0.01%, meaning that we’ve made significant progress in curbing exams fraud. We expect less further cheating this year, due to interventions put in place,” assures Maganga.
Out of 255,087 candidates who sat for the 2016 PSLCE exams, 197,222 qualified for the award of the PLSCE representing a 77.3 percent pass rate; and out of the 197,222 internal candidates who passed the examinations, 69,587 candidates were selected to various public secondary schools. This represents a 35.28 percent selection rate.
Meanwhile, MANEB starting this year, will no longer administer the Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) Examinations.
The Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB), said it will handover the 2014 to 2016 Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) certificates to all successful candidates this year, after delays due to some logistical problems.
