The Secondary School Teachers Union of Zambia (SESTUZ) in Luapula says the move by the Examination Council of Zambia (ECZ) to be conducting separate Examinations for internal and external candidates has proved to be effective.
Luapula Province SESTUZ General Secretary Change Mwita points out that ECZ has since started releasing results faster which is a positive development for both internal and external candidates.
He explained that previously when all candidates were sitting for the same examinations in October it used to be difficult for makers to complete marking a situation he said delayed the release of results.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Mansa today, Mr. Mwita cited GCE candidates who are now able to apply for college places in the same year in which they had written their examinations.
He pointed out that progressive policies of such a nature are what will make the education sector to continue improving.
GOOD MOVE
It has not read here Hagain! Run, it is coming!
Its not good at all. Osanama banthu. We have pupils in grade nine forced to write external exams which cuts their learning short. This is myopia of the highest order. Denying children education in a country with poor education system. How many times did some of you repeat school?
