Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47623, member: 636"] Malawi National Examinations Board announced stronger security measures for upcoming school certificate tests. The agency expects more students than ever before to take the exams this summer. Officials from MANEB revealed their plans to work with police and military forces. These partnerships aim to stop cheating and protect test materials from theft. The examination period runs from July first through July twenty-fifth. Security teams will guard storage buildings where test papers stay before distribution. Police officers will stand watch at every testing center across the country. Past problems with stolen exam questions forced MANEB to create better protection systems. The board trained more supervisors to watch students during testing sessions. These steps help make sure all candidates follow the same fair rules. Registration numbers jumped to 202,940 students this year compared to 177,434 students last year. Female students make up 97,089 of the total group. Male students account for 105,851 test takers. MANEB officials believe these higher numbers show people trust their examination system more each year. The growth also proves that more families value education for their children. MANEB spokesperson Angella Kashitigu spoke about the rising participation rates. She said the increase demonstrates public confidence in national testing standards. The board continues working to maintain honest exams at every education level. Parents and teachers must help create a secure testing environment. Students deserve fair chances to show their academic abilities without interference from dishonest practices. [/QUOTE]
