All systems are set for Grade Seven, Form Four and Form Six examinations. We started the preparations early and did not face any problems.

The June exams were actually our test run for new measures we were implementing, and I am glad to say it was a huge success.

The board is always on the ground to make sure they implement measures that make the examinations successful, and we are really learning from our mistakes from last year’s exams.

Prof Mwenje said results for Grade Seven examinations will be released timeously this year to give parents time to prepare.
