MBABANE – Form III results are expected to be presented this morning in Cabinet before being released to the public.

This was said by the Principal Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Education and Training, Pat Muir, who said if all went according to plan, Cabinet would be briefed this morning during their weekly Cabinet meeting and, thereafter, the results would be released to the public.

This, in essence, means the results will be published tomorrow. Last year, KaBoyce High School came out tops in the Junior Certificate examinations, achieving an unprecedented 64 Merits.
Meanwhile, Senior officials from the Ministry of Education and Training including the Minister, Phineas Magagula, yesterday indefinitely postponed a meeting which was supposed to be held with the 17 head teachers whose schools had their Standard V results withheld.

The meeting was expected to take place yesterday morning at the ministry, but PS Pat Muir said they had decided to postpone the meeting until after the Form III results were released.
“We are not anticipating that some of the Junior Certificate (JC) results will be withheld because of malpractice, but just in case there are such cases, we have decided that we will wait until they are all released,” said Muir during an interview yesterday.
In a shocking revelation last week, Minister Magagula, who is also Lomahasha Constituency Member of Parliament (MP), said 17 schools, which included St Michael’s Primary School, had their results withheld for suspected copying.

Magagula had, as a result, summoned all head teachers of the suspected schools to the ministry for a meeting yesterday. Annandale Primary School, which is a private school in Mbabane, also had its results withheld.
Dwalile Primary School, where in 2014 all the pupils at the school were made to repeat, is also on the list of schools suspected of malpractice in 2015.
The minister said this was bad news and that was why he wanted to meet with the head teachers in order for them to address the issue.
