Who told NCHE to set a cut off point at 12points for Rumphi, Chitipa & Karonga but put 20 & 21 for Blantyre and Lilongwe, respectively? Why did they do this? Is this what is called equity or fairness? Equitable to who? Fair to who? How does anyone justify this? QUOTA system is a DPP agenda, no secret! Why does DPP advocate for this system? University education is competitive, anywhere, why not in Malawi? Are we sure merit is not the way to go? Has merit failed us? Does the system instill enough esteem and confidence in the “favored” districts… Read more »

Study the systems first starting from the examination board itself. MANEB is full of tumbukas and they don’t visit north during exams so that their relatives can have free time to cheat. They normally have regular visits during exams in most of the southern and central region schools making students in these regions write exams with fear. Unless MANEB open regional office in MZUZU which will be occupied with people from other regions to monitor administration of exams within north, the tumbukas will continue getting free points from spoon. Muphunzirenge mukaone BLANTYRE anganya.

There are many students who have been denied access to universities In other regions but nobody, not even those students have ever come in public to get sympathy, not at all. But you our friends from the north why you like using that strategy. Very shameful guys. I don’t understood that formula. If you feel Malawi is one, stop such whining when In actual sense,you know the truth that Quota is bringing hope to the poor and disadvantaged students in all districts including your districts

There was purging of northern Malawians at MANEB and National Statistics between 1989 and 1992. One from the former institution called Mbughi, who used to administer MANEB interviews when recruiting exam checkers, was one among those purged. Of course they sued MANEB but has not idea how the case ended. Over the years people from the centre and the south have recruited them again by virtue of their capacity to perform and compile statistics which has elements of Mathematics. It is not not that they are from the Dead North. Suffice to say that once recruited, they are deliberately heaped… Read more »

Malawians please stop worshipping people for a broad daylight lie. This man Chilima will take you nowhere! Do not be cheated. Please be sober when choosing the next president. Make no mistake to think that Chilima is any better. Between 2010 and 2012 all Malawians cried to God to save them from ruthless DPP Government. The then First, lady Carrista mocked Malawians when they needed her help. Kaliati was in that Government too as a cabinet minister. She spoke in total defence of Government position “people are sleeping in fuel stations at their own choice” she too mocked as she… Read more »

You will be surprised today to find Kenneths, Daniels, etc as sirnames of some students from the Northern Region of Malawi in the countr’s public universities(in reality we do not have such sirnames in the North). Do this research, you will agree with me…but the origin, SATANIC QUOTA SYSTEM.

While this happened I had the F. Mkandawires who changed sir names to Washington…pple who loved me encouraged me to register my district as Ntcheu, not Mzimba. I was God-fearing so I RISKED registering my real sir name…while others were sinning by lying to the Government.I was selected to COM though my lying Mkandawire to Washingtons were left out.

Quota makes people liars!

“Ndinalira ine, Friend, the whole night after I was left out in the University selection”, said Friend Nkhwazi, who got 14 points from Likuni Boys Open Secondary School in 2014. Lucky enough he was explaining this while preparing his journey to Michigan University in the USA to do his MBBS(Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), after Azungu sponsored him with everything!Any plan made to suppress any particular group will only promote that group to levels beyond measure .We have a lesson from the oppressive regime of Pharaoh on the favored Israel.

Students from lomwe belt do not pass well as you can see what are taught at MLAKHO WA ALOMWE, a culture promotion grouping of PLAIN SEX, so instead of thinking about studies they think of SEX which is promoted at the event. Very unfair to north students who work hard to achieve good grades. Qouta system is evil and it has really to be abolished.

Very stupid thinking, just because most people at MANEB are from north and they let you cheat during exams by not visit your school during exams you think your more intelligent than the rest of all Malawians? Unless northern people stops stupid thinking like yours its when Malawians will start listening to your cries but for now forget. No president will entertain anything from you fools even chilima nseu.

Some of the comments here are trash and stinking.Whether quota system or not, the whole North will still vote for SKC. We have some idiots here who claim that students from the North cheat do you have any proof? If you are indeed intelligent show us! Comparing a child from Thyolo and one from Mzimba or Karonga who is more poorer or more likely to fail exams. Actually you think like a rat. So you pipo think honourable folks from the North and their children cannot be found in any other district in Malawi except in the North? You are… Read more »
