Speaking this morning at a media briefing in Lusaka when he announcement the results, Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education Minister John Phiri described the 2014 grade 9 exams results as better but that there is still more that needs to be done.
And Dr. Phiri has attributed the increase in the number of candidates sitting for the grade 9 exams to the creation and expansion of classroom space arising from infrastructure development and upgrading of Basic schools in the country.
He has also attributed this to the holding of annual performance review at national, provincial and district levels since 2013.
Dr. Phiri notes that the other factor is the implementation of the provincial Learner Improvement strategy in all provinces.
He says he is particularly pleased that during the 2014 Grade nine exams there was a reduction in candidate absenteeism rates from 19.18 percent in 2013 to 16 .23 percent in 2014.
Dr. Phiri has also expressed happiness that the 2014 grade 9 exams have recorded a decrease in exam malpractices from 268 in 2013 to 132 in 2014.
