You’ve closed the loopholes kabili:::
Now the dullness is showing
These PF?? Terrible way of distraction of future generations. You let them pass free at grade 7 before puberty. Then immediately bamena amasso you drop them off education in grade 9 so they get pregnant.
At least UNIP needed manual labor in ZCCM and other parastals, so they made form 3 impossible to pass. That’s why our current leaders are form 2s.
There is absolutely no reason why we should have exams in Grades 7 and 9. Our UK counterparts have what are called checkpoints where candidates are told how they are progressing.
We are being very unfair to 11 Year olds or 13 Year olds to tell them that they are failures.
You have made others to fail and preferred your children to pass.God of Abraham will judge you.
Am waiting for those G7 failures who are advocating for abolishment of exams
What’s the cut of point
You always like cutting things – those dull kids just failed the exam; chapwa!! Let them try again!
How can tukopo be progressing up to UNZA without passing?
This should be good news to those who insulted govt when G7 recorded 100 pc pass.
Why being bitter on my question my young sister has passed it was just a question
This is a true reflection of what is there on the ground. Not that crap we were told regarding grade 7. At least like this we can know where we are going wrong and correct the mistakes.
How is the checking of results done online
Type exam number (leave a space) 2018 (leave space) G9 then send to 8383.
