Transformation of Education Begins with Teachers

Celebration of the 2022 World Teachers' Day

PRESS RELEASE

For immediate release
October 24, 2022
Ministry of Education
Lilongwe

CELEBRATION OF THE 2022 WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY

The Ministry of Education wishes to inform the general public that Malawi Government has this year joined the International community in commemorating this year's World Teachers' Day.

In 1994, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) proclaimed 5th October as World Teachers' Day. This was to celebrate the great strides teachers had made from 5th October 1966, when a special intergovernmental conference convened by UNESCO in Paris, France, adopted the UNESCO/lnternational Labour Organisation (ILO) recommendation concerning the status of Teachers.

While 5th October was set aside to commemorate Teachers’ Day globally, activities to celebrate the day in Malawi will take place on Tuesday, 25th October, 2022, in Blantyre at Sunbird Mount Soche Hotel. The theme for this year's commemoration is "Transformation of Education Begins with Teachers”

The celebrations will start with a Transformational Walk from Clock Tower through Chipembere Highway into Victoria Avenue and will be led by Hon. Monica Chang’anamuno, M.P., Deputy Minister of Education, as the Guest of Honour, who will be joined by Teachers, Government Officials, Development Partners, Educationists and the general public among others. The march will be spiced up with music by the Malawi Police Brass Band. The celebrations will culminate into awards to outstanding teachers and teacher educators.

The World Teachers' Day provides the country an opportunity to celebrate the teaching profession, take stock of achievements teachers have registered and address issues central to attracting and retaining the brightest minds and young talent in the profession.

This year in particular, countries have an opportunity to also recognize the selfless service of teachers as they fought gallantly to assure continuity of learning both at the peak of COVID-19 and as countries recover from the effects of the pandemic. The Ministry would like to use this occasion to recognize and appreciate all teachers for this great show of nationalism.

Special thanks go to all those that have come forth to support in cash and in kind to make these celebrations happen. Your cooperation and collaboration with the Ministry will make the teachers day memorable.

Finally, the Ministry is calling upon the general public to join in celebrating all teachers and teacher educators in Malawi (both active and retired) for their great commitment, sacrifice and noble contribution that they have made and continue to make, as they offer their invaluable services to their country.

Education Reforms

The Malawi National Examinations Board-MANEB

The Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB) was established to develop and administer national examinations, award certificates to successful candidates in the examinations and facilitate proper selection of candidates to secondary schools, tertiary institutions and other organisations by designing and implementing enabling selection systems.

In improving service delivery, MANEB undertook ICT Upgrading/E-Registration and E-Payment of Examination Fees Reforms with support from Ministry of Education - Malawi to replace the Microsoft Excel based system which has been in use for the past decade.

The Reform aimed at addressing the problem of misappropriation of school fees by school administrators and long time spent processing of candidate's data submitted manually.

In 2021, the system was piloted and in 2022 the new system was used to register candidates for Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE), Junior Certificate Education (JCE) and Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) in 19 Education Districts.

Benefits
1. No withholding of candidates’ results due to unpaid examination fees.
2. No income loss through non-remittance of examination fees.
3. Full access to total estimated revenue.
4. Reduced registration queries.
5. Easy processing of candidates’ identity cards

Of Alleged Failure to Select Faith Sakala from Lilongwe Rural East Education District

The Ministry of Education would like to state that Faith Sakala, Examination Number 002 15 050 136 is a bonafide candidate in the 2022 PSLCE examinations that have just been released. Faith went to school at Mitundu Primary in Lilongwe Rural East. That said, the Ministry’s official database cannot trace the alleged results widely circulating on social media as belonging Faith Sakala.

The results alleged to belong to Faith Sakala, in fact belong to a different candidate who attended school at Chinkhuti Primary in Lilongwe City Education District (Code 14) at Centre Number 008 while Faith was in Lilongwe Rural East Education District (Code 15). Furthermore, the Centre Number for Mitundu Primary School which Faith attended is 50 and not 008.

The general public might wish to note that the Ministry has informed the Headteacher of Mitundu Primary School to contact Faith’s parents to access authentic results for their daughter.

The Ministry is strongly reminding all Headteachers that national examination results are private to the candidates and their parents hence it is not allowed to release them to the general public or any other stakeholders without the consent of the learners and their parents.

The Ministry would like to call upon the general public to desist from discussing candidates’ results as this negatively affects candidates, subjecting them to stigma, emotional shock and mental distress.

The Minister of Education Agnes Nyalonje says this year's Junior Certificate Examinations, which have ended today, have been administered without any serious challenges.

Speaking at Bwaila Secondary School in Lilongwe after inspecting the last papers, Technical Drawing and French earlier at Chinsapo Day Secondary School within the city, Nyalonje said except for some non-teachers who posed as invigilators of the exams, there were no reports of any form of cheating.

She added that the ministry has set up systems that make it easier to monitor movements during examinations, which is the reason the invigilator-imposters have been arrested.

Nyalonje emphasises that this should be the way examinations are administered for them to get respect both on the local and international scenes.
