LILONGWE (Maravi Post)—Private owned Zodiak radio station has alleged that the ongoing Malawi School Certificate Examinations (MSCE) have leaked.Their evidence is that they got hold of answers to Biology practical exams. They claim that the answers they got have corresponded to the specimen the students were using in writing the actual paper today.
But is this conclusive evidence to raise alarm to the nation that the exams have leaked?
Some quarters say Zodiak radio just want to cause stress to the candidates submitting that specimen for practicals are known by subject teachers before the exams are written.
“They are told to buy them. All they do not know are the questions.
“It is possible some teachers speculated what questions would come given the specimen they were told to buy and to conclude that finding such answers mean that the exams have leaked is a dangerous assumption,” said one teacher who is privy to exam issues in the capital Lilongwe adding that “if they are to be taken serious, let them show the nation any theory paper and not blowing things out of proportion on issues they hardly understand.”
Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) is yet to make an official statement on the same. We will keep you updated!
