\nManeb Executive Director, Gerald Chiunda, said this during a press briefing in Blantyre where he also highlighted that the new format will be effected in 2019.
\n\u201cManeb is responding to the curriculum review and removal of JCE examinations by changing format of the 2019 MSCE examinations and introducing new examinable subjects in line with the new curriculum,\u201d he said.
\nChiunda cautioned teachers to take up the task of encouraging their students to read widely from the junior level saying the new examination format will tackle everything.
\n\u201cThe 2019 MSCE examinations will take care of both junior and senior secondary content in a balanced way, as the success criteria demands. Concepts that end at junior secondary level will be reflected in the questions for that level and those that develop up to the senior secondary level will also be reflected as they appear in Form 4\u201d he said.
