Over thirty-three thousand candidates who sat for examinations last year have obtained full grade twelve certificates.
This is out of fifty-five thousand pupils who sat for grade twelve examinations.
Education Minister DORA SILIYA says the results represent a pass rate of 60.6 percent compared to 61 percent in 2008.
The Minister also disclosed that one hundred and five schools had poor grade twelve results and that government will launch investigations into the matter.
Ms SILIYA said the Copperbelt province has the largest number of schools with poor results countrywide.
The Minister also said western province has recorded less than forty percent school certificate pass rate while North Western Province has recorded the largest number of schools with a pass rate of below fifty percent.
Ms SILIYA told journalists that twenty schools out of one hundred and twenty-five obtained one hundred percent pass rates.

This is really poor Dora – you are a failure in that respect.
Well at least there are twenty five schools that are doing well in Zambia, Good news. North Western Province pull up your socks ..you have mining investors there and this need to start showing in your school results
60.6% pass rate is too low!
Government this is the time to seriously invest in this part of the economy otherwise we are heded for doom as a country.
Dora is the opportunity to show us that you can perform.
Other women should laud Dora and give her support. She is a sister who is doing it!
If you think Dora got where she is by doing RB you are just jealous. Go and start dinner, your philandering husband is about to get home because that is all you will ever do with your life!
Go Dora!

The stats are so misleading!
Your information is incomplete. you have not said how many boys/ girls obtained full grade twelve certificates. The 60.6% pass is not good enough for Zambia if it has to meet the Millenium Goals.
and we have only 3 universities ..the poor will not even get chance to enter unza ..but yalikosa pa zed …
Thanks to the poor education policies this country has in place now all these kids can not aspire for the office of president.
More efforts should be done to improve grade 12 results
bafana these days…..fikopo!!!!
Kindly assist in letting me know and understand exactly how many subjects make a full grade twelve certificate in Zambia?
