DC warns against Exam malpractices

Lufwanyama District Commissioner, Evans Pwele, has warned teachers and pupils against engaging in examinations malpractices.

Mr Pwele has also urged management at the District Education Office to strictly safe-guard the storage rooms for examination materials to protect them from unscrupulous teachers and pupils who might want to tamper with the materials.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lufwanyama, Mr Pwele warned teachers to desist from any form of examination malpractices so that pupils obtain genuine school results that will reflect their academic capabilities and help them chose professions that they can successfully pursue in life.

“This will help improve the education standards in the country and subsequently the pupils’ contribution to national development when they leave school,’ he said.

Mr Pwele warned that teachers and pupils who would be engaged in examination malpractices would be punished severely.
He said he wanted his district to have clean examinations that would be free of leakages so that the pupils will have genuine results and be able excel at college and university levels.
He said Lufwanyama had in the past been facing problems of exam malpractices induced by unscrupulous teachers and pupils.

Mr Pwele, however, said the district examinations security committee had already put measures to prevent exam malpractices this year.
