“I am very pleased that examinations have started well. It is quiet and we have not heard anything unlike in the past when there were a lot of irregularities,” Wirima said.
Wirima, therefore, thanked various stakeholders including the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB), Ministry of Education and security agents for the job well done which has contributed to the smooth running of the exams.
“I am also impressed that the number of students sitting for exams this year has increased with 19.5 percent from 13.2 percent last year implying that Malawians are showing interest in education,” she added.
During the visit, the minister also inspected EQUALS Project at Chambe Community Day Secondary School whose aim is to improve the teaching and learning of science in secondary schools.
Kambauwa Wirima visited two centres of Mulanje and Chambe Secondary Schools.
