Seven UZ Students Graduate After Alleged Fraudulent Result Alterations

Seven students from the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) who allegedly failed their examinations graduated on Friday after their results were fraudulently altered by lecturers at the request of the institution’s academic leaders.

According to The NewsHawks, the forged marks were assigned to the students after lecturers were pressured to change the results on Monday, rather than organising supplementary examinations.

The seven students concerned were named as Linford Masotcha: Small Animal Medicine (41%); Anorld Mushayi: Small Animal Medicine (40%); Obey Kadyamajongwe: Small Animal Medicine (43%) and Small Animal Surgery (44%); Adeline Musunda: Small Animal Surgery (43%); Moses Madenga: Small Animal Medicine (46%), Small Animal Surgery (40%) and Herd Health (45%); Tadiwa Karumbidza: Small Animal Medicine (43%); Wright Zvomuya: Small Animal Medicine (40%) and Small Animal Surgery (40%).

UZ students recently received their exam results, and those who failed were expected to either repeat the subjects or sit for supplementary examinations after six weeks. However, the university’s academic leaders directed lecturers to alter the marks, allowing students to pass without retaking their exams.

According to university regulations, a student who fails certain subjects must sit for supplementary exams. Students who fail one or more modules may apply to repeat those modules, while those who fail a module other than Research Methods, Technical Writing, and Design Project may still proceed to the Dissertation phase.

It is alleged that lecturers were instructed to change the results, a move that many academics have condemned as fraudulent and criminal.

40% is a pass. It’s boarder line , if different lecturers mark the paper could land into a pass on average. 50 % can be a fail depending on who marked

Some of you pushing those negative comments have nothing to do and have never been to a university . Stop demonizing the university.. that's why university regulations ( not the law) allowa remarks by an an independent group of examiners . And 45%> , is not too bad but 39,%>is bad . Can a single course make fail in life? The answer is really no. Zimbabweabs youths have nothing to do and they find joy in slapping every online discourse into a real war of words. Whoever put this on the press should be ashamed because university administrations examiners have discretion which they correctly used

You Just violated the law when it comes to information protection. You don't post people's name and their mark thats personal information. You are very unprofessional. You can be arrested or sued for this. We need responsible journalism. This is not cool.

Each paper is moderaed. They determine what is called 'ease of the paper or examination'. In.other words, if the paper on analysis was difficult for the pass mark is lowered and if it was too easy, the pass mark is raised. This is done for every examination. There is also what is called condonation. If your marks as classified as 'bordeline fail' the marks are upped so that you get 50%. This means a 46% is converted to 50%. This is normal practice in institutions and examination boards like Cambridge, Zimsec, Umalusi, etc.

Sir is this supposed to be done after results are published, or must be presented before the examination board if adopted then results will then be published

No what is happening exactly other countries are doing altering passmarks to be accommodated as long you did not play truancy to the school programme you can now pass with credit, and in this age of AI revolution some degree would soon be redundant and hence there's need of updates

Kana kupasa iri 50% surely a lecturer should not be so strict kana munhu awanawo 40 or so % vanofanira kumusesedza asvikwewo mu 50%. Asi kanawo arimu 30% zvichidzika haabatsirike.
