Malawi President Demands Dismissal of Exams Board After Tests Leaked

Lameck Masina

   BLANTYRE - Malawi's president is calling for the dismissal of the
   National Examinations Board after end-of-year school exams were leaked
   on social media. The leak forced the cancelation of national exams and
   led to clashes Wednesday between angry students and police, who used
   teargas to disperse the protests.

   In a national address Thursday, Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera said
   top managers of the examinations board should be fired for allowing the
   tests to be leaked.

   He spoke a day after the Ministry of Education canceled the Malawi
   Schools Certificate Examinations, or MSCE, which started October 27.
