As many stakeholders continue condemning the government over its decision of eradicating Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE) and Junior Certificate of Education (JCE), the Private schools Employees Union of Malawi (PSEUM) has expressed worries over the government’s decision saying it will negatively affect education in the country.
General Sectary for PSEUM, Falison Lemani told Malawi24 in an interview that the abolishment JCE will bring poor examination results for Malawi School Certificate of Education – MSCE since students will be relaxing a lot a situation which will lower education standard of country’s education.
He added that teachers will be blamed for failing students since student’s examination failure it is mostly believed to be a teacher’s fault.
“As teachers from private schools we are worried with abolishment of JCE exams of course we are appreciating for the reforms because are important and needed in order improve things.
“But on contrary we feel that abolishment of JCE examination will lower the standard of education. Right now we already have a problem that pupils are just enrolled anyhow in private schools just because school directors need money.
“With abolishment of JCE we will have problems in MSCE because JCE prepares a pupil for MSCE exams and the results of MSCE from now on wards will be poor and will put blames on the teachers because most cases when a student fails blames go the teacher and with abolishment of JCE pupils will relax a lot which will bring problems at MSCE level”, he explained.
PSEUM has also blamed government for rushing into its decision of abolishing the exams without conducting wider consultations with concerned stakeholders so that others can have opportunities expressing their opinions on the issue.
Malawians let’s be vigilant, these lomwe crooks just want to destroy our Beloved Malawi and our childrens’s future. Do you think even a mad person could dare to talk such nosense? Pitala nyamuka uzipita ku Ndata ndi anguru a nzakowo.K577 billion unaba ndi mkulu wako ija siinakukwanire? Usationongere dziko ndi tsogolo la ana athu.
wrong decission
For sure there is Free Education in primary schools which is variry to Free of Knowledge. The aborish of PSLC is not just socializing the nation but planning to access own plans towards a Zero budget that the ministry should invest itself from Fees. Get ready soon we will be payng this aborished primary. Then shall no longer been able to be so called Malawi Education as MSCE will face same aborish so soon. what poor nation so much changes? Drivers licence-now we tolking of schools-tomorow will be a birth certificate-that should starts by 2000 all ages behind this year will have no access in public services as reaching expired dated.
Not a good idea!
Thats true but this government z fuly with gridy,selfish and bostfull leaders,they only consider there stupt dicisions.
We have to know that malawi needs an improvement no time to blame our government and the abolishment will not affect student performance but only that pupils are lazy adding to that all pupils who will fail their classes examination will have to repeat the same class to avoid poor performance and this will help

Mumafera chimanga povota. U don’t have to worry bcoz ndizomwe munasankha nokha amalawi.
The government has done a very good job by abolishing JCE….do yu know how government has saved on this? and me the value of a JCE certificate now, can yu be employed? So why waste money on a thing which has no value?

Chitsilu ndi fresident peter.
Why wasting national resources for administering and printing certificates that are not used. Take the money to proper use. Lets strive to get msce as we do with Jce. This is a serios govt that would wish to our little resources for the development of our country. Tikumangotokotela umbuli basi
bumboklaat leadership!
after dem mash up currency dem waan fi mash up edukashaan too?
That’s abrilliant Idea if watchmen and cleaners they want MSCE with 4 years experience what is the use of JC after all most people the don’t collect their jc certificate. this will make our kids work hard to get msce. mukafuna kunyoza muzinyoza mutalingalira kaye how much taxpayers money are wasted to print this useless certificate
right sure
I ddnt even collect my msce since the year 2000

Zachamba Pitala Uwona Ngati Aphawife Tidziphunzira,uganize Wava
I agree with what private school association are saying
This has worried all citizen who knows what standard education is.JC was acting as a gader to grade the people so that those qualified fo it can stand a chance to attempt MSCE,but with this changes it means that all stundent even those not qualified to write MSCE wil b writting thereby having more failure %.I see this government is turning to a dictatorship,why couldnt they hear views of people before this reforms?
Jc certificate ena amapeza nayo mwai waka ntchito 2..its nt all the pple who reach form 4..
Abwanawa akukhala ngati atumidwa ndi devil kuzazusa amalawi
I will take my child and come here t
the reason on these guys is not holding water, bcoz examinations will be their only that gvt wil not issue certificates. so the argument that’s being championed is not holding water.
Zomungonyozana mbuzi, bankha chani chani sibwino… The decision of Goverment is based on scientific facts presented by MIE… To dispute the facts why can’t you do ka small survey or ka research kamene to prove Goverment wrong… Kodi ma reforms siamenewa nanga… Bwanji baba….
UAre These People Just Shows Educated Survage …
very right
Who told you that MIE cannot be wrong? The so called experts of Malawian have never given a right remedy for our education system.And that is why they keep on changing the education syllabus.You formulate education policies for the kids at public schools when your kids go to elite schools.How can you know the importance of JCE?
Which facts from MIE? You mean a decision of serving 2billion Kwacha is coming from MIE. Don’t you know that the 2billion comes from the poor pple’s taxes?
Ndiye mufuna kunena chani? I can’t get your point here…
Tsono ngat mukuti palibe kulemba std8 exams nanga ndi njira yanji mwakoza kuti ana std8 azitsakhilidwa ma secondary xool a boma?
