  15. That’s all about Malawi…don’t even think about education but stealing! Shame on u!
    Can’t help your own future…and then u cry saying the country is not developing! How will it be with much ignorance caused by thieves?????

  25. I think we have a major problem when we only achieve a pass rate of just over 50%. Malawi has a very bleak future if this is the best we can do.

  35. Maina aokhoza plz ikani pa net tiwaziwe ena ssitili ku Malawi so tikufuna tione acha bale athu analemba! Plz Plz

  36. Its great but I think when marking those exams something always happens!!……komabe congrats to those who managed to make it with flying colours!!….

  53. A country without future. a country that breed thieves. awarding MSCE to 71,000 candidates.

    a country that run useless curriculum for our children.

    Simple Arithmetic clearly shows how our country is sick.

    71,000 -5000(universities intake)= 65,000
    66,000- 5000(Technical and other Govt Colleges) = 61,000

    Out of the remaining 61,000 candidates, how many can afford tertiary education? your guess is good as mine.

    Please bring career based subjects in secondary schools. Let students learn Mechanics, Computer Repairing, Electronic,Carpentry, etc from form 1. Not learning subjects that will not help them when they complete their studies.

    1. You make good points, If this government can get those district technical colleges up and running, that will go a long way to providing a brighter future for our youths and the country. I think secondary school should be for theory as it is though, the application should come there after.

  55. Koma ikani zotsatira za ana pa web mwachangu kuti olepherawo apedze nawo mwawi okabweredza masiku akupita awa……

  101. 54% pass rate is depressingly low. Think of the sheer number of kids that are in the failed 46%; and the money wasted thereby. Let’s address the problem at its roots – no excuses, no buck passing. Otherwise, we will have a generation of semi-illiterates. It just takes 10 years. We are seeing it already. And, by the way, why do we need both MSCE and university entrance exams for public universities?

  104. Fifty five percent (a 2.3% increase from last year) pass rate is pathetic. Our education system is dire straits. Why don’t we find out the actual problems? This is an emergency! Ine izi ndiye zangondikwiyisa baasi (this is shameful!). How can we hope to develop in this competitive world, with results like these?

  116. A MANEB you can not understand them look mayeso atuluka koma they have not yet posted ma results pa website yawo. tulo tantunduwanji timeneti let us use the technology pliz anthu aku maneb mwatani kodi

  131. Ine sindinalembe nawo ndimaona ngati abookaso mayeso a 2013 -2014 koma ayi mayeso anali bwino.Zipitilire kuti tizilemba mtima uli pansi.

  133. Your list of candidates is incomplete. You say 130,293 candidates wrote the exam. But your breakdown of 77,621 internal and 25,467 external only total to 103,088. Similarly you say 71,486 passed the exam with 45,325 internal and 12,538 external totalling only 57,863 passes. Where are the rest of the candidates and their pass rates? Please media people report accurate facts.

  137. bola tikhonze….chifukwa ife zonse zimatikanika…akazi nje!..bawa..nje!..malucks nje!..dola nje!,..sukuluso ikhale nje!..ayi mayazi a maneb tiganizireni!..

    1. Good question! Unfortunately, I suspect that the answer is: “nowhere”. If you find out anything please let us know.

      I have been looking for a Maneb website to find out the fees to be paid for the JCE exams, and when is the deadline for payment. So far, I have failed to find anywhere on the internet where such information can be found.

      Only in Malawi can we expect an organisation like Maneb (or MEC) to avoid publishing vital information of interest to the public.
