The Minister for Education Hon Nick Kuman, MP has acknowledged and commended the students, teachers, principals, provincial and national education authorities for their support in completing the national examinations without any major incidences of mal-practices.

"I am really happy that this year is the second year that we have not had any major incidences of cheating or other mal-practices reported.

We have given attention to eliminate cheating and bring credibility to the national examination system over the last few years, and I am pleased that we have made a turnaround", the minister stated.

The Minister said that there are quality control measures already in place for a number of years now to curb cheating which include the marking process, moderation of internal and external marks and security from the writing of the exam to packing and distribution to schools.

Meanwhile, the Minister announced the online release of national examinations results for grades 10 and 12. A total of 72,012 Grade 10 students in 328 High/Secondary Schools and 30,662 Grade 12 students in 170 Secondary/NHS Schools will now have access to their final examination results.
