Students intending to benefit from the government's free education program beginning in January risk missing the 2026 national examinations if they do not register by the December 15. The Malawi National Examinations Board has opened registration for all exam candidates, noting that only public school learners are exempt from fees.
Education expert Lexon Ndalama warned that students waiting for the new school term to begin would find the registration window already closed. He advised them to report to school immediately to complete the process, cautioning against relying on political promises over official procedures. The examination board has urged school authorities and parents to ensure all registrations and applicable payments are finalized within the stated period, confirming that no deadline extensions will be granted.
