April 2007

The District didn’t send enough forms to register all the students for the Grade 7 and Grade 9 – they obviously didn’t believe we could have so many entrants! I had to drive to Mumbwa to make sure there were no mistakes with the Grade 7 and Grade 9 exam registrations.
Apparently our Grade 9 exam results have caused much discussion. Some said we must have cheated to get such high marks. The District officer told me that the Headmaster of Mukombwe School has stopped that rumour by saying there was no possibility of cheating – the exam papers were kept in their safe and only Mukombwe teachers were allowed to invigilate. He said the high marks were because the children have been taught English since they were little and The King’s School has very high standards of teaching in every subject.
Wow!! Now I know why the Lord has not allowed us to be registered as an exam centre. There can be no shadow of doubt that the students have passed their exams by their own efforts.
