The Provincial Education office in Livingstone is investigating reports of leaked grade nine examination papers printed in Braille, a formal way of writing and reading for Person’s with visual impairment.
This came to light after some identified grade nine pupils who are sitting for their examinations from a named school bragged to their friends about their new skill of taking leaked exam material into an examination room.
A parent overheard the pupils in question narrate to their friends at home after sitting for their first examination paper on Monday,how they successfully managed to carry their leaked examination material impressed in Braille form upon rubbers and rulers, the only items allowed in an examination room.
The pupils said they acquired the Braille leakage skill from a named teacher from a private school during extra tuitions and the Education office is investigating the matter.
Southern Province Education Officer Festus Mungo told ZANIS that his office would follow the matter with keen interest to curb the scourge.
However, invigilators in all examination centres have been informed of the new skill in leaking examinations and are on the lookout for rough markings on rulers and rubbers.

Don’t punish them! Try and guide those kids energies into a positive way. If they made an effort in learning how to write using braille(and then of course cheat), then they have the brains to challenge anything that can be thrown at them.
The rampant issuez of cheating in examz in recent yearz iz deep-rooted in the system. Nowadayz there are extra lessonz from grade 1 right up to examination classez! Wonder whether; 1. the pupilz are so dull, 2. there iz too much to teach, 3. the teacherz are lacking somewhere and or 4. “that’s just how thingz are now”?!’ From the January up to the time of examz, gradez 7, 9 and 12 are doing extra tuition, surely we should produce exceptional rezults.
Lekeni abayiche imwe. Ask any Professor if at all they have never used Shipoli in their lives.
