Blantyre, August 18, Mana: The Private Schools Owners Association of Malawi (PRISAM) has expressed its appreciation to the Ministry of Education and the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB) for promptly releasing the 2024 Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE) and Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) examination results.

In an interview with Malawi News Agency (Mana), PRISAM President Ernest Kaonga, lauded the timely release and publication, recognising it as a significant improvement in the efficiency of the examination process.

Kaonga emphasized that the early release of results will empower parents and guardians to make well-informed decisions concerning their children’s academic journeys.

"Delayed result announcements often place parents in a predicament, struggling to adapt to new educational requirements. This early disclosure offers ample time for preparation and planning for the next phase in their children’s education," said Kaonga.
