No more easy work for MSCE candidates: exams to include Form One work


Malawi exams

The Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) has disclosed that Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) exams will now cover work starting from Form One to Form Four.

The new approach on the exams follows the abolishment of Junior Certificate of Education exams.

MANEB disclosed that students are now to prepare for all secondary school work before sitting for MSCE exams.

No easy road for MSCE candidates.

In a statement made available to Malawi24, the examination body says it has put forth plans to cover all topics and subtopics learned in both senior and junior levels of Malawi’s secondary education.

“The examination syllabus committee will meet to develop new MSCE tables of test specifications based on both junior and senior levels.

“Sample MSCE papers will be developed from the new MSCE tables of test specification and sent to all secondary schools,” reads part of the statement.

However MANEB has disclosed that the change will be effected on candidates sitting for the MSCE exams in 2019.

  1. Whom did you consulted to come up with this burden to the sons & daughters of your own land? As for me I’m agreeing to disagree with you in affirmative, or if that is the case then make four subjects as required per candidate with three as a pass gauge for a certificate award. Finally, Malawians punishing Malawians on education grounds. Alas!

  2. kkk i won’t pussyfoot on this idea. we’ve millions granaries of failures though piple sit for two classes included exams. this factious truelly will build a very rotten government. we will see highest getting 30 points unless this ritual of releasing examination papers b4 examination day continues. but am nt much worries coz everyone knws what MALAWI is, so dont eager to enjoy good life out of frames

  3. finally after a long tym since JC is now useless in the moden world l love the idea but they must aswell introduce A level certificate or rathar than one finishin form 4 apitilize mpakana form 6 and that mean Alevel certificate must be introduced

    1. Even MSCE is useless now, and soon just very soon diploma will also mean nothing, why adding more job to something which is useless now, M.S.C.E Level has alot of job alrdy, isn’t that easy to cover form 3 wake and 4rm 4 wake, and they are nw thinking of adding another more job on top of another one which was alrdy there. The idear is rubbish, I disagree with that I dea!
