Mathematics Had The Highest Leakage In 2016, 2017 Reveals Report On Zimsec Paper Leaks

A report titled Enquiry into Zimsec questions leakage during 2017 examinations obtained from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has revealed that the leakage of examination papers also extended to Mathematics and Integrated Science and not just English Language. This comes after the examinations body was stopped by the High Court from holding a re-sit of English Language Paper 2 for all candidates after widespread cheating. After withering criticism from the High Court, the Zimsec board fired its directors and instituted a major overhaul of the top echelon.

Part of the report which was prepared by the Zimbabwe Republic Police and which is quoted in the weekly publication, the Standard, reads:

The three subjects (Mathematics, English Language and Science) are compulsory for most institutes if you want to further your education career and are also demanded by most employers. this makes them most saleable,

Maths had the highest leakage in two comparative years, 2016 and 2017. This is due to the fact that that it is probably the hardest to pass and thereby making it the most lucrative to sell.
