#-o how about western and north western?
Obviously, the true reflection of the results from that part of Zambia is Luapula province. The results in Northern Province are a statistical anomaly caused by the examination leakages fueled by the thieving tendencies and desire to cheat by people from that part of Zambia
what about Lusaka? and other urban areas where leakages were rampant?
Leakage
 What about Muchinga?
Northern and lusaka are full of leakages every year.
hmm not only does it show that people from those parts of the country cheat, but where are the other provinces like western province and northwestern OOps I forgot they don’t matter in the PF goverment. Why can’t they give  full statics for the whole country for fairness sake,,
Northen is the mother house of kaponyas – trust the scientists, kolwes’s brain is more developed than that of cow – Kolwestans are gifted with IQs (Academic intelligence) and EQ (social inteligence) coupled with dominat traits – southerners are good at maths – am sure the have toped the list.
Yulibamanofye fwe babemba. jelousy down
Ukanga nakulemba chitundu chako sure. LOL!!! Koma aBemba!
Does any one experied markers being biased by names from certain provinces to favor names from other provinces?
ITS A SHAME RECORDING THE HIGHEST AFTER LEAKING ALL THE PAPERS. NOT EVEN A SINGLE TEACHER WILL BOAST BECAUSE ITS AT MUNGWI WHERE PUPILS BROKE IN THE SAFE AREA AND GOT ALL PAPERS WHICH CIRCULATED AROUND THE DISTRICT THAT THERE WAS NO CONTROL. THOUGH SOME WERE APPREHENDED, IT WAS TOO LATE AS BY THAT TIME ALMOST EVERY GRADE TWELVE HAD A PAPER IN THE HAND. I SAY IT AGAIN, SHAME!!!
tribo,try-ball,tribal day-in day-out! you see bane,you will die with INDUCED HYPERTENSION coz tamwa katekepo.mwacepesha try to imbrace other citzens of this country!
Fellow pragmatist, tell them the truth but these chaps will never change.
Don’t think Leakages; think on how these young brothers and sisters will progress in the careers. We have very few Universities and Colleges. Write on HOW WE can HELP than being NEGATIVE.
It is a good progress that so many managed to get full certificates, I do not care whether there were some leakages or not, but how are our young brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews going to progress from this stage? With only three government universities and Mulungushi being very expensive, I wonder if the kids will get any education after this stage. It is high time we considered having more higher schools of learning in all parts of the country and slashing fees so that many can have a chance to progress higher after high school! Congratulations to those who passed and hard luck to those who did not manage!
When decentralization comes in they will be stealing from themselves kikikikikik
i ges north western was da worst as usual n da ineffective p.e.os creatures wil b threatening teachers wit transfers as if dats da remedy. Our pupils dont luv school n our headmaster r 2 adamant…nsakwa yaba kaonde frustrating hardworkn teacher,thank god am not there
we are not going to celebrate with chops who pass with leakages atase..
More universities and colleges need to be built or else most of these grade 12 gradutes will end up in the streets.I hope the PF government is looking into thie matter.The university of Zambia has been down graded mostly because people who have failed grade 12 bur are coming frm rch families find themselves there.Students should be admitted into university on merit not ifikopo!!
Guys Ichikopo nangu mwachipela leakage chilapona. Grade twelve is not A,B,C or D you have to know the formula for you to reproduce it and give the correct answer plus if a teacher is clever enough they can tell if a student had a leakage coz they will be giving correct answers with wrong workings and deduct some marks. Those are the chaps who become headmen at UNZA taking 10yrs on a 4yr course and starting VIVAs. Reality catches up with them so dont stress about them. The big issue is, what are we going to do for these young brothers and sisters??
well said ma bro.
While you continue swimming in your ignorance and thinking nothern province is a province of thieves, our province is improving by day. Agriculture has very much improve and Nothern province is one of the highest producers of Maize. Everywhere you go, you see FRA shades full of maize.
People in Nothern are lovely and like intergarting with others, you will find alot of Lozi,Tongas, Luvales, who are settled in villages and towns after retiring as civl servants. All those talking about tribalism are just wasting their time coz Zambia is moving on.
Well put KweKwe.
Education is not a preserve of one particulars tribe or province. It belongs to every hard working Zambian as simple as that !
Eastern province what can I say, we always represent. May God bless the whole Zambia and it’s people. Let’s serve Jesus and work to develop our land.
BY THE WAY, EVEN SOMEONE GETTING SATISFACTORY IN 6 SUBJECTS INCLUDING ENGLISH GETS A FULL CERTIFICATE. I JUST WONDER WHICH COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY WOULD ENROLL SUCH A STUD. 8PASSES IN ALL SUBJECTS, CONGRATULATIONS AND PLEASE START SEARCHING FOR A UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE.
Could we stop this nonsense about tribes. We have pupils from southern province who attend boarding schools in northern province and vice versa. Â
No Sir that is not true.We have pupils from northern province in southern province but not pupils from southern province in northern.
What was the cut off points in each province? Congratulations to those who made It. To those who did not make it do it again don’t give up.
Cachine, Bakolwe baleba no maresults yonse. Muchinga number 1 ukwiba. Guys learn to pass with intergrity and honour.
My niece, a fresh graduate from UNZA, was posted to Northern Province. She noted, with alarm, how the headmaster supported teachers to cheat. When she protested to the provincial office, she was asked to leave the province or be bewitched. This issue is known by Ministry of Education
Its so sad.May God deliver them if thats the situation on the ground and bravo to that honest fundisi
the bembas are more intelliegent than tongas as can be seen from the stats. Also at unza the tongas or bantustans fail to get into Engineering, medicine, law or economics. they only manage to get into school of education the easy falculty.
the tonga creatures always complain. Sata wins is a problem. Chipolopolo wins they complain. I think very soon some tonga chap will come up with a weird theory that because of Kalusha and chris Katongo influence on the chipolopolo, zambia bribed the refs to win their games do far. Even anti corruption investigating Chilufya Sata and Henry Banda they still complained. RB has been sent to Gabon, again they are complaining. HH lost the elections and they complained! He joined RB they were quite, now the chap got a house for orphans they complain that it’s sata’s problem. These chaps tribalism is deep routed in their DNA. There are more bembas in Zambia than they are tongas yet they complain that bembas are taking part in politics and football. These tongas are a CANCER to Zambia
Tonga boys in your face, you have been hit. way to go Northern, leave southerners to complain because we know they always complain. Thumps up
Kaponyas? Its because of leakage
Kolwe cant be the cleverest in Zambia
Congratulations to those who made it and to those who did not make it try again don’t give up. What was the cut off point again? is the cut off the same the whole Zambia? Can we get the results from the rest of the provinces?
Well put KweKwe.
Education is not a preserve of one particulars tribe or province. It belongs to every hard working Zambian as simple as that !
ba kolwe ..yaba..why are you so myopic..?
Leakages at those ends. Kaponya mentality as always!
Really?…the grandmasters of leakage…watch them flunk at University!!!
This blog makes for sad reading. At least those of us who sat Cambridge School Exams can hold our heads high amongst our fellow men! Presumably most bloggers here did not pass fairly and squarely.
sadly it is true that some exams were stolen from Mungwi…The DEBS did not comment or explain what happened or what measure were taken to stop selling those papers…in the end the kids will be the one suffering when they wont be able to keep up wiht further education . it is really too bad.
