We as a sector are ready,\u201d said NyaLonje.<\/p>\n<p>She indicated that prior to the exams, all key stakeholders in the education sector were brought together by MANEB to have discussions and see how each one of them were prepared for the exams as they are expected to conduct spot checks.<\/p>\n<p>The minister further underlined that her ministry has also paid a particular attention to learners with special needs by providing for all their requirements including braille materials, large prints as well as oral exams for those with severe physical disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>NyaLonje proceeded by calling on all candidates to refrain from cheating claiming anyone who will be tempted to compromise the creditability of this year\u2019s PSLCE exams, will surely face the music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me appeal to the learners, parents and teachers that national exams are a serious business it is a method by which a country assesses how well it is doing in education sector and for it to be so, we need to maintain standards which means nobody must cheat, nobody must do anything that endangers the creditability of these exams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo let me appeal to learners that no one should cheat, for those who are tempted to do otherwise, we are prepared. We do not want to see any of our students cheating because that\u2019s not the kind of citizens we want to build for this country, we want honest citizens,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>According to MANEB, a total of 266,639 candidates were registered to sit for this year\u2019s PSLCE exams and of the population, 131,941 candidates are male while 134,698 are females.
