Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) has launched an e-service on student registration and fee payment.
The system will be effectively rolled out across the country this year where no school will register candidates or receive examination fees on behalf of MANEB. This follows the pilot testing in previous years.
The system was designed to deal with challenges that candidates and the board were facing including fee swindling and mistakes in names and identity documents.
The challenges sometimes affected children who failed to write examinations despite having paid the fees.
So far MANEB has made agreements with five banks and two mobile phone companies for e-registration and e-payment.
