Malawi vice President, Saulos Chilima, who was heading the Public Reforms Commission, is behind government decision to abolish Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) and the introduction of fees in primary schools, Malawi24 has learnt.

Saulos Chilima
Doesn’t care about poor Malawians

Reports that this publication has seen show that Mr. Chilima, as Public Reforms Commission chair, nodded to suggestions for government to introduce primary schools fees as well as abolish JCE.

“Chilima could have stopped these two crucial suggestions. But the moment he okayed the suggestions into becoming part of the reforms, he affirmed that the suggestions were good for Malawians in general. According to the vice president, free primary school and JCE were both bad for Malawi. This is why he blessed the decisions to have the two removed” reasoned our news and current affairs analyst, Williams Simango.

It is believed that Chilima, an economist by profession, supported the abolishment of JCE and introduction of primary school fees as part of some measures intended to earn government money while cutting on public expenditure.

“IMF has been on government’s neck demanding various austerity measures. But government cannot privatise basic primary education because it is widely acknowledged to be a human right. The closest Chilima and his public reforms commissioners could come to privatizing this sector was with the introduction of fees. With millions of pupils enrolled in primary schools, it is evident the economist target was to earn government about K1 billion/a month with the K950/per month school fees that he introduced. Whereas as government would cut on its expenditure in administering JC exams. The two decisions were intended to benefit government and not the general public” added Williams.

Asked whether Chilima should apologize to Malawians following a strong public outcry calling for the two reforms to be reversed, the analyst said Malawians should forget their wish to ever becoming a reality.

“Apologizing would be confirming these reports that he is the one who introduced the reforms which are evidently not widely supported by the general public. And also with well placed sources saying Chilima is also eyeing to replace [Peter] Mutharika in 2019 as president ‘should nothing happen by then’. As someone with ambitions of becoming a president, coming out to accept full responsibility for the reforms would undoubtedly end his chances in 2019, and his political career with it”.

Meanwhile, one of Malawi’s renowned education experts, Dr. Steve Sharra, has argued that abolishment of JCE will negatively impact on the country’s education standards.

“The reforms are happening at a time when the Malawi economy is undergoing severe problems. While it is true that necessity is the mother of all inventions, the danger in our circumstances is that institutions may be tempted to think of reforms dictated more by economic necessity than by the desire for wholistic efficiency. There is great risk here that the economic factors could triumph over common sense and end up skewing the reforms [in that] removing the examinations without a careful, deliberate process could create a vacuum that could paralyse the system” blogged Sharra.

  2. dis s pblem to poor malawiana ppo & dis gvt will not elec in 2019.zkomela ana amabwana omweo ndamene aphunzire loko mutelo skut ndalama zaosaukazo zidzabwezedwa pot ntchto mumalembelana kudzwana .ndekuononga ndalama zotsatla zake kumalizasukulu ndkumakalima maganyu kumaphuzilira self employed ake imeneo.kumaliza sukulu no wrk available, osaamba busnes ndalamazathela kusukulu.palibe chabwino kszthandza ife zimenezo km kut onjezela mavuto kwamphawfe.

  6. It is a problem today and of course one would point a finger at Mr Vice President but this went off track during UDF regime. Dr Muluzi is to blame for all the calamities facing this count. He taught Malawians to expect free services from their Government. Now DPP will obviously decampain itself come 2019 because in the eyes of voters, these reforms are meant to punish ordinary people. on the other hand, these reforms will take us back to apply one or two of those corner stones of late Dr H Kamuzu Banda who always preached about hard work.

  8. Ana ena amabwereza std 8 ka five times kaamba kochepa nzeru ndiye mwati azingophunzira mpaka form 4 osalembako mayeso MSCE YABOOKA DPP REGIME ndi mbuli zomwe nde pali ana ena anzeru kwambiri azingolowera makalasi akuluakulu kukana kuchedwa ndi ma class achibwanawa Dpp kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  25. Koma amalawi ndinu okanika at one point u complain abt lack of change..now somebody is abt to bring those changes ayi walakwitsanso!! Ala ine nde mundibowa kanyeleni uko!!!

  26. I repeat wat i said,’when you tell wisdom to the wiseless person is like an insult.Moreover,is very hard for un ancivilised people, un educated and wiseless persons to understand and consider wisdom as well as knowledge.To my side of view,wat Chilima is doing is very good coz the teachers will be getting their payments early and also malawi will achieve high quality education since the government will be able to hire well trained teachers and also be able to purchase enough materias to be used in schools.But the payment must not be more than k1000.

  27. Time we opened our eyes … big ups for the VP …. he is thing strategically. … he has the future of our country at heart … we cannot afford to sustain free education …. if we are going to stand on our own two feet , let us learn to earn a living and learn to be responsible ….. it is painful now but in years to come we will be thanking this government for helping us learn how to fly

    1. Thank you but that’s in your opinion…Unfortunately the majority in the villages is busy fighting to raise money for food. Imagine it to someone who is a guardian to 5dependants!

  28. Ana anu amaphunzira ma pvt,maphunziro angapite bwanji pa tsogolo m.ma primary athu? Mukadwala mumapita zipatala zakunja mankhwala angapezeke bwanji zipatala? Ndalama za misonkho ya mphawi munaba lero timisonkho mbweee kumangotipwetekabe?

  31. There is no need to collect any more revenue from us, Malawians. This is a weak solution to solve our economy problems now. We all know that a good percent of revenue that government collects leaks to other people instead of benefiting the Nation. Why not addressing this revenue leakage first???

  32. Don’t wory my fellow malawians,the luxurious funeral Is just an inch away from its occurence point..wipe nt cz Gods decision favours da majority

  57. Malawi has one of the poorest economies in world,, for dat fact it z so daring n so unrealistic of the govt to continue giving free education.(something that even great economy countries can not afford to offer to dar citizenz without clear n vivid negative consequences). The economy situation right now partly works on psychology too(how poor malawianz think n plan). Imagne a poor farmer who waits for subsidy fertlizer to cultivate his crops, harvests huge dat year yet decides to js spend all da money unwisely.If we try to critically search for answerz as in why he blew out all the money we gonna fynd out dat his unwise expendtures wer sub-consciously re-enforced by facts like: dar z free primary edu. for his kids, free health services,govt bursaries at sec skul n scholarships at universityz. Aint against bursaries n scholarships but these services cant be offered to every poor malawian student, hence a need of malawianz copying the attitude of other poor people in developing countries like India, who know “no saving, no survival n success”. In such countries people, even the poor, start saving for their children when they are unborn in their momz wombs. they know they can save from the little they earn yet in Malawi even a 20 years-serving secondary skul teacher wud lyk to have his child on the scholarship list at the public colleges. The strategy being introduced nw by govt,Chilima or whosoever may sound selfish n poor, but got lots of sense in it. We may not be the generation to enjoy the idea but lets also be not selfish by leting it serve better on those to follow us.The wrong thing i see z da idea being introduced at a panic situation.It shud av bin fused long ago at a stable economic situation otherwise. Its high tym Malawianz changed hw they think, stop putting the blame on others for their poverty n blame themselves, get self-motivated n mek it big. 50 years of independence n still living in poverty tells alot about our mindset n thinking capacity.Dzuka Malawi**

    1. Hey buddy, the countries with whch u r comparing Malawi, her civil servants r well paid. Hw can someone who z being paid K75 000 a month reserve some coins 4 future use whilst he gat one who needs K85 000 in every 3 months 4 xool fees @ national sec xul?

    2. u dont understand brah, u tokn abt sum 1 struggling for childz fees wen he cud manage to save frm da stat of his working career. Its not abt the countries too, for instance da country i mentioned(India), dar r many people who r very poor. But they try dar level best to save. Check n shockingly discover malawian civil servants r far wel paid than Indian js dat in dar national economic strategies necessities r cheap for all.

    3. May b u r wrong friend, to tell abot K75000 i wz jst renient; tht cn b th average salary 4 secondary xool teachers bt 4 prmry thea average z K54000 whch z jst a pay 4 sustainance n nt saving (if u cn add rentals n otha bills, thea z nthng whch u cn save).

    4. Its also a blue lie 2 say tht our civil servants r wll paid thn indians. 4 instance, the least indian primary xul teacher receives INRs 16000 whch z equivalent 2 mo than K135000. Ours receive abot K50000 (more ova amene amalandira yimeneyi ndiokhalitsa).

    5. India z a developed country hence it cnnt hv many poor pipo than malawi, lest it couldnt hv been included amongest developed countries n th wrld and tht too z another white lie.

    6. India z not developed brah, its developing. .js lyk u may thnk malawi z a developing nation wen actually its underdeveloped.. .dey r meking it dar,, alot to learn frm dem n sum structures to compare to malawi as diz guyz r js rizing frm da ashez…. frm xprience i can never agree wth yew dat indian civil servants r well paid.. ..coz Rs. 15000 z a salary of a well qualified Sales Executive. afta graduation many students flock to oda countries for work nt only coz of high competition on da job market bt also low salary….coz of population labour z very cheap. as u already knw abt supply n demand concept. hea we tokn abt a country wch js had thousands of its post graduates n graduates even thoz wth Phd goin for a vacancy of 300 clerk jobs in govt. last month. dat tellz alot. da poor pipo i talked abt cant manage to get all dat K50,000 per month u tokn abt. saving znt abt getting k200, 000 as ur salary brah… its all abt ”save as u earn” ….da attitude u impartng causes da poor to thnk dey earn too little to even av a bank account, wch z not true.

  61. Vuto lo sankha anthu okulira kunja ndilimeneli. Mavuto akuno ku malawi sakuwadziwa, mmudzimu muli anthu ovutikitsitsa,amasiye,amene amapita ku school coz they want to learn. Nde mukati azilipira feez,muganiza kuti anthu ngati amenewo akwanitsa kulipira???

  70. Instead of reforming you are deforming. Dont mess up with Education, thats the only weapon for the betterment of our future Malawi. We have failed to run the small country so we have to avoid killing our Education as it will end up in poor governments like this one forever. Tell us other stories but not that a child should just frm std 1 mpaka form 4 no bridge to cross aah kaya….

  71. Jce jce chani?pezani zina zochita sukulu yawulele ana sankaphunzira, makolo analibe chidwi cholimbikitsa ana awo komanso maziphunzitsi amangosewera bawo ndikumwa tea pa mtengo osalabadira zophunzitsa, Apandiye anyera kungopanga zachibwana phunzitsi kukwapulidwa kulipo basi fees izipita pachonadi mwana kupanga zibwana kunyesa nthawi yomweyo.JCE sitimalembedwa nayo ntchito ukachitika mwayi ndi Ulonda basi.

    1. Chilima machende ako. Kulipilitsa ku primary ukuganiza ndi solution yokwezera maphunziro? Mwajoina ndale muli ana fotsekiiiiii msuna wako

  86. If Mr Chilima didn’t sit for PSLC and JC he can carry on wth that abolishon. ….And if he never been in the village to see how people are struggling to buy ufresh at K50 he can continue wth that heartless idea of demanding school fees from primary school pupil. ..If the government doesn’t have money it’s gud to increase the monthly tax wth 30% from Mr Chilima n his fellow politicians who r behind this heartless idea. ..If it may happen that Mr Chilima become president in 2019 he wl start demanding tax from these poor villagers

  87. I remember how udf government was scorned for introducing free primary education. ..I thought this time around we would be celebrating coz paying fees would improve the quality of education…going by the thinking of the majority then. Nde pano tadana nazonso? I thought we would at least say fees yo yachuluka mwina apungule. I don’t know what to think. Tiyeni tiziona.

  89. Abolishing jc last week and attaining masteres degree this week. Uchitsilu weniweni. Go ahead abolish degrees as well

  96. A malawi anzanga mwayankhulazi ndizomveka ndithu. But you already know the problem that DPP govt has ” ndikusamva za anthu”. Now what can you expect from such govts. From experience we all know that boma la dpp ndilo finya,kuzuza the list is endless. Sorry Mr VP apa zakhala ngat mukukanika bola konkuja munali kale cos that is not solving problems but adding salt on the injury to the Malawian pple. Remember mulungu amaona. tinadabwa2 kulumbira without……..

  97. DEVIL POSSESSED PEOPLE (DPP ) is the government that killed 21 innocent poor Malawians so don’t expect good life. THOSE PEOPLE ARE SATANISTS you can see how they got in government the best way is Nonsense plus Nonsense =PEACE fight for your rights

  100. This reforms have brought more bad omen’s than good: For example civil servants are forced to produce Bank statements of which the bank cant produce without a whiff of money for the servince; An education School certificate should also be attached to the Bank statement; All these things are coming becoz of mediocre reforms targating innocent citizens of the land; All those with PLC & JC will be shown the exit door- My Footy: Evils of DPP are now being exposed- HOKOYO TAKE COVER matchona akubwera;

  109. Anything free has no order or respect. A minimal charge must apply so both parties respect the value. From what I have seen a JC cert. Holder cannot even write a letter nor speak English. Yet a Zambia std 6 writes reads and expresses all very well.

    1. Then the job must be how to improve,rather than charge pple that can’t even feed themselves.Every child has a right to education,it is the duty of govt to provide it.

    2. Grace I totally agree with you. Koma don’t forget the Malawian mindset. The teacher even tells the pupils zaulere usandizunguze!!! The parents won’t push coz again it’s free.

    3. Lucianna Barratt u know why u went to central high and I went to tukombo cdss and before that tukombo free primary, coz u could afford it (your parents could) and I couldn’t. Education has to be made available to those who can’t afford. And that means free education. Since u value English as a sign of being educated (there are people with PhDs in China who can’t even speak English and there are Britons in the UK who don’t know English to the extent as you think), what is needed is to have well trained teachers prepare these pupils. There is a country that offers comprehensive education and more teachers in deprived areas. Malawi can do the same. Central high has teachers from other countries like England (who earn more than their black fellows from Malawi for doing the same job) but tukombo primary has volunteers who only have msce. With 900, the question would be:should I pay fees or buy food. Not all can find it

    4. Ok,that is a motivational issue aunt Luci…Those teachers are demotivated.The basic line is education for all.people should not be priced out of education.Every child should have a day in school. Teacher training should sort those issues out.All these things can be dealt with by good management and leadership. a teacher is not being paid and is unhappy with situation that is not the pupil’s problem,but they take it on the children which is wrong.pple are squandering money there which can be used for good causes like this. what will a poor person contribute? We are very selfish pple

  110. Abolishing JCE?uku nde kuuyamba umphawi ndithu.pali anthu ambiri akupeza ntchito using JCE ma companimu what wil they do?Kmatu inu inu ok …….

  111. Kodi anthu am’boma mitu yawo yimagwira ntchito? Zoona mumene akuvutikira anthu mziko lathuli nkumanena kuti primary schools azilipira ma fees achoka nazo kuti anthu ndalama kuti ayambe standard 1 mpakana 8 every term. ..usamunda uwu wayambaso.

  112. Reforms on its own is ideal considerin edu status hea,bt de problm z dat DPP gvnt has com up wth dis soltion coz its bankrupt whch z nt a deal,wat they want z jst 2 appease pple frankly spkng leadershp its a problm in Malawi & we r ful of rulers nt leaders.its dfcult 2 realise tru democracy wth dis DPP.

  113. whoever made these decisions is so poor minded and deserve not to leadMalawian nation.Utsogoleli sitiphunzira kusukulu ndimphatso yochokela kwamulungu dala.RIP Dr.H Kamuzu Banda.

  115. When FPE was introduced,more children than estimated turned up,that is what school the system.The question is where were they, Where will they disappear to when fees are introduced?There is no Sukulu za Kwacha anymore(as far as I know,correct me if I’m wrong).This is where when pple had not gone to school,missed out, appeared again kudzaphunzira a little more…Nde tsogolo likhala lotani?

  120. Chilima azibwelera ku Airtel, u-vice president walephera basi… kuyendetsa boma kwasiyana ndi kuyendetsa company galu iwe…. kumangopanga ziganizo zokomela wekha bwanji? chitsilu iwe eti

  121. Brave decision to abolish JC. Many are not paying taxes to support the free primary education. So why continue with it? The VP forgot to reintroduce the chiyamwaka tax. Ie the Hut tax in Zimbabwe then

  125. I can’t believe that the stupid decission came from the man I have been respecting for a long time(Chilima).Funso ndiloti kodi selection ya ana from primary to different secondary schools idzikhala bwanji?kapena kholo lililonse lidzingosankha lokha komwe akufuna mwana akaphunzire?Please likani kudzikonda ndipo dzipangani ma decission othandiza anthu akumudzi(ovutika).

    1. I see nuthing wrong why insulting him? Check your gvt is not geting fundng from else where, where do u think the funds to run xulz will cum frm

    4. ofcoz simakwanira,kmano wen funds hav been released they r spent on shit,imagine instead of takin 18pipo waku mangalande akutenga anthu 111,ndalama zake nziti akupungila mbwelelazi.

  128. Mr Bryan Joy Banda you are not a Ngoni apo bii kwathuku ndinu akudza. Ife angoni ngati wina akulakwitsa sitionetsera mkwiyo wathu pa facebook. Stop that for respect sake. Dr Chilima is not a small boy like you. Mudzipanga izi kwa ahinya komko komwe mtsogoleri amasanduka baby. We the Ngoniz will not take that no no no no.

    1. FPE is very important ngakhale it is over subscribed.at least every child has a chance for a day in school… Sad indeed!

  133. these ppo r driving us no where and yet they dont knw that ppo in rural areas r starving. What polict is being potrayed in Nyaxaland dammmn these ppo God shud judge them b4 its late

  140. I support minimum contributions to necessities and not free things. There is nothing like free because if it is hospital service, the taxes people are levied is what services the ever increasing masses. Look from a different spectrum, how long should people who work hard still be supporting effortless souls in life? We should all feel the pinch, if money is a problem, let it be across the board as money is hardly earned. I rest my case.

  166. Will PARLIAMENT accept to adopt this system of education? Is this system welcomed by ordinary Malawians like me? If it is becoming hard for the two Leaders to run this country, then its time for them to resign. Lets call for referrendum and choose the right leaders who can run this country for the goodness of Malawians.

    1. Thats true John Mkakeni Moyo. I think this two should rest now. They all think like kids. Its true we want our education to change but not like this. You cant say a secondary school student should stay three to four years without exams. What kind of children/students will we have? Right now you’re saying they are not doing better, do you think they can do better if you leave them for four years without a serious exam? Penapake penapake akuluakulu inu muziganiza mozama. You did your education outside Malawi now you’re coming with foolish ideas about our education system

That’s Very True.But Still It’s Not Fair To Phase Out JCE.Look!Up To Std 8 And Somebody Can’t Properly Read,Write Or Speak Perfect English And We Think Phasing Out Grades Is A Solution To Improve?No!!That’s Making It Worst Cause Next Time We’ll Not See The Meaning Of MSCE Too And So,,No Secondary Education.I Wonder If There’s A Place In The World Where Secondary Education Doesn’t Count.

So i can see that there is lack of invetigative research with you Guys at Malawi 24 and all your colleagues. Dont just blame people for no apparent reason. Tell us readers plain truth not what some people have asked you to tell us. …..i rest my case. Ngati mulibe National edcation sector plan inbox me ndikutumizireni muyambe kuliuza dziko zoona.

  189. Chilima was deliberately chosen to head reform program so that malawians shud later blame him for hardship thereby spoiling his political career. But chilima is himself to blame for digging his own grave on 20 may 2014. He could have consulted cassim chilumpha first before making his ill decision.

  193. A GIRL WITH FISTULA (17 yrs old) SAID “Fistula is a very bad thing. Feces would come out from my urinary tract. I smelled badly, leaked urine and my friends isolated me. My boyfriend quit school to start work as a bus conductor to support me. But all this happened because I accidentally got pregnant while young, cos I didnt know about emergency contraception”. Fistula is just one of the complications that happen to ladies. 529, 000 women develop complications like these every year in Africa. Millions more die from pregnancy-related causes. But all this is because of lack of information. For this reason, “Ubereki Health Network” is providing reproductive health information to all men, women and youths regarding issues like contraceptives, fistulas, circumcision, menstrual problems, fibroids, cervical cancer, pregnancy issues etc!!! Improve your reproductive health life too! Just like our page found on this link m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=954957171233367

  221. There is nothing wrong with the move. We are developing and we have to change the way we do things. Nothing wrong with this. Let’s move forward. Mukubelekela dala ana ambiri

  223. I suport the abolishion of JCE bcz ths certificate has lost value bt i advise th gvnmnt to allow schools to award thse honours by teachers themselves so tht som other companies who needs ths qualification shld nt be blocked hence creating jobs to thoz having ths testimonial. The introduction of K950 its a good move coz if gvnmnt ll b able to collect 1Billion per mnth thn per yr its alot of money thn obviously gvnmnt ll get rich n ll end bonds of pressure in education support n othr sectors bt gvnmnt shld v a certain percentage to its acount No 1
