The Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC) has noted with sadness at the reduction in the pass rate of candidates who obtained school certificates in 2020 estimated at 63.93 percent (%) compared to 65.32% in 2019.
ZANEC Executive Director, George Hamusunga says it is further saddening that the last performance in the 2020 examinations was in Science which recorded a mean score of 24.19%.
Mr. Hamusunga notes that despite the country’s emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), the low performance in Science has been a common trend.
He says to this effect there is need to invest more in Science related education inputs including the recruitment of more teachers for STEM subjects, procurement of teaching and learning materials as well as providing science laboratory equipment.
