Chadza II Primary School in Chatsala Zone Lilongwe Rural West once again posted a 100 percent pass rate, marking a remarkable second consecutive year of outstanding examination performance.

The achievement is particularly significant for the school, which says it had never recorded a 100 percent pass rate in more than 40 years since its establishment before last year’s breakthrough.

School authorities have attributed the continued success to the collective efforts of learners, teachers, parents, school management and the wider community.

The school, however, says its success story is not only about examination results but also about creating a learning environment where pupils have the facilities and resources they need to perform well.

The school recently faced a serious shortage of desks and chairs, prompting an appeal to well-wishers for support.

The appeal yielded positive results, with Good Shepherd International School responding by providing school furniture and other essential items. WhatsApp Group No. 9, chaired by Thom Khanje, also supported the school with desks and other assistance.

According to the school, the support has made a noticeable difference, giving learners better conditions to study, concentrate and work towards their academic goals.

Despite the progress, Chadza II Primary School says several challenges remain, including shortages of learning materials, infrastructure, teaching and learning resources and other essential facilities.

The school has therefore appealed to other well-wishers, organisations, individuals and partners to continue supporting its efforts to improve the quality of education.

A Business Studies teacher at M'mbomba Secondary School has credited regular assessments, teamwork, discipline and strong teacher-learner relationships for the school's impressive performance in the recently released Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) examinations.

Gloria Mmemo Matekenya says her approach to teaching goes beyond completing the syllabus, as she regularly checks learners' understanding and works with them to address areas where they face challenges.

Her efforts produced impressive results, with her learners obtaining 61 A grades, 32 B grades and four C grades, with no D grades or failures recorded.

Speaking to Education Matters , Matekenya said she conducts weekly assessments to track learners' progress and identify areas requiring additional attention.

She also uses group work to encourage learners to exchange ideas, assist one another and develop a deeper understanding of the subject.

According to Matekenya, maintaining discipline and building positive relationships with learners have also played a key role in creating an environment conducive to learning.

She said seeing learners improve academically and behave well gives her greater motivation to work harder.

Meanwhile, Matekenya has urged female teachers to believe in themselves and take their professional responsibilities seriously.

“What men can do, women can also do. Lady teachers should not underrate themselves. If they are able to manage their homes, why not manage work? Women should not look down on themselves.”

The Headteacher of Nampeya Primary School in Machinga District, Majawa Milcaf Ndoya, has attributed the school’s outstanding academic performance to teamwork, regular assessment, discipline and a strong partnership between teachers, learners and parents.

Speaking on Sunday’s TIWADZIWE programme on the Teachers of Mangochi WhatsApp Group, Ndoya said Nampeya’s success was built on a collective commitment to academic excellence rather than the efforts of one individual.

He said the school regularly assesses learners to identify those facing difficulties, while teachers provide additional support through group and individual learning.

The school recently recorded impressive secondary school selection results, with 18 learners selected to national secondary schools, 4 to conventional secondary schools, 17 to district secondary schools and 11 to community day secondary schools.

Ndoya said the achievement reflects the effectiveness of the system developed by the school community.

“The 100% performance is not my idea; it is the teachers’ and community’s idea. So it will be there even if I am posted out of Nampeya Primary School,” he said.

He urged other schools aiming to improve their academic performance to promote teamwork, maximise learning time, provide adequate teaching and learning materials, establish clear goals and conduct regular assessments.

Ndoya said the school would continue working hard to maintain its standards, stressing that “hardworking pays.”

The circumstances surrounding the accident, including the identity of the vehicle and its driver, have not yet been established.

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has issued a strong directive to all District Commissioners and education administrators, demanding urgent action to improve teacher registration and licensing compliance across the country.

According to data from the Teacher Management Information System (TMIS) synchronized with the Education Management Information System (EMIS), compliance levels remain low:

76% of primary school teachers are registered
72% of secondary school teachers are registered
Only 29% of primary school teachers are licensed
Only 28% of secondary school teachers are licensed

The Ministry emphasized that the Teachers Council of Malawi (TCM) is mandated under the Education Act No. 21 of 2013 to regulate the teaching profession, ensuring accountability, professionalism, and ethical conduct.

Key Directives Issued:

No recruitment or promotion of teachers without proof of a valid license by the Local Government Service Commission (LGSC) and Teaching Service Commission (TSC).

No retirement benefits processing for teachers lacking a license.

District offices must deploy idle licenses to zones through DEMISOs and ZEMISOs, ensuring teachers collect them at Teacher Development Centers (TDCs).

Teachers must present a valid license before accessing services such as transfers, study leave, maternity leave, sick leave, exam invigilation, or appointments as headteachers and Primary Education Advisors (PEAs).

Leadership by Example:

Secretary for Education, Science and Technology, Ken Ndala, PhD, urged education administrators themselves to register with the Council and obtain valid practicing licenses, stressing that leadership by example is critical.“We therefore encourage you to lead by example by complying with these requirements and supporting teachers under your jurisdiction to do the same,” Ndala stated.

The Ministry confirmed that TCM has digitized registration and licensing processes to ease logistical challenges. Similar reforms across the SADC region have already improved efficiency and service delivery.

A meeting of all Education Division Managers (EDMs) and District Education Supervisors (DESs) is expected soon, where councils will be assessed and ranked based on compliance levels.This directive marks a turning point in Malawi’s education sector, signaling that unlicensed teaching will no longer be tolerated.

For Aisha Alisen, attending school may now become a little easier after Charity for Future stepped in with a wheelchair to support her mobility.

Aisha, a learner at Chiponde Primary School in Chiponde Zone, Mangochi District, received the wheelchair following a request from administrators of the Teachers of Mangochi WhatsApp Group, who approached Charity for Future after identifying her need for mobility assistance.

The donation is expected to help Aisha move more easily between home and school, navigate the school environment and participate more fully in classroom and other learning activities.

The support is part of a growing initiative that began when members of the Teachers of Mangochi WhatsApp Group came together to purchase a wheelchair for a learner at M***i Abbas Primary School.

The initiative later attracted the support of Charity for Future, creating an opportunity to reach even more learners living with mobility challenges across Mangochi District.

So far, the partnership has reached 18 learners from different schools, providing various forms of mobility assistance, including wheelchairs, modern artificial walking sticks and artificial legs.

The initiative continues to highlight the importance of community support in ensuring that children with mobility challenges are not left behind in accessing education.
