Parents and community members across Malawi have expressed deep frustration following a sharp drop in national secondary school leaving examination results, with the pass rate falling to 59%.

The latest Malawi School Certificate of Education examination figures show a troubling disparity, with rural candidates bearing the brunt of the declining performance.

Educational advocates point to severe resource shortages, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of qualified teaching staff in rural public schools as key drivers behind the poor results.
