Professor Eddie Mwenje, the chairperson of ZIMSEC, explained in an interview that they have implemented new measures to prevent leaks.
Now, those caught leaking public exam papers could face up to nine years in prison. Learners involved in this will have their results invalidated. This is a significant increase from the previous punishment of up to one year in jail, which many considered too lenient.
These changes are part of the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council Amendment Bill, which will be officially announced soon. It updates the 1994 Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) Act.
Blame Game Between ZIMSEC and Schools
There has been a back-and-forth between ZIMSEC and school authorities, each blaming the other for the leaks. ZIMSEC claims that the leaks occur outside their offices and at schools..jpg "Zimbabwe School Examination Council (ZIMSEC)") |
