Most of the examination centres throughout the country leave much to be desired. There must be malpractices going on in these centres. For instance why should a Lusaka based candidate prefer to write examinations in Shangombo, Maamba, or Chadiza? There is more to it than meets the eye. Chances are some of the very good results are actually fake. Hence even when the holders of such “good” results enrol in tertiary institutions it is a mere case of “gabbage in, garbage out”. Zambia is not serious with its quality of education.This is the reason why despite being under serious economic sanctions Zimbabwe standards head and shoulders above Zambia when it comes to quality education.
