The Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) has refuted some media reports suggesting that the Examinations system has been hacked by unscrupulous individuals who are altering results for people at a fee.
In a statement made available to Q-News, ECZ Corporate Affairs Officer, Ronald Tembo said the examinations system has not been tempered with in anyway.
Mr Tembo said the ECZ has heavily invested in ICTs to increase and expand both technological and infrastructure base to achieve full automation of processes and systems.
He said the examinations body takes great exception to issues of ICT security in order to meet the convenience and technical innovation expectations of stakeholders.
Mr Tembo said the Examinations Council of Zambia assures the public that the Examinations system is extremely secured and is operating normally.
He added that as an examining body, they remain committed to providing assessments and certification systems which meet global standards and credibility.
A story published by the Daily Nation claims some officers purportedly working for the ECZ are getting money from individuals to alter results, especially Grade 12 at a fee.
But this is possible, with all these exam leakages!
ICT Dept needs to start putting up past paper exams on their website, may be 3 months after an exam has been written. This will surely discourage those fake leakages.
Specifications and syllabus material should be there as well as login details for staff.
Try to login to CIE or Edexcel or IB websites and you’ll understand what I mean.
They dont know what it means to be “hacked” so to em its business asual.
A norm in a Corrupt enterprise.
Whats new, just Dununa, & lets move on.
