Zanzibar Examination Council (ZEC), which is responsible for administering national examinations, is in the process of revamping the current system. The proposed changes are aimed at improving the quality of examinations and making them more aligned with the needs of the country. One of the key changes is the introduction of a new grading system for the National Examination. Under the new system, there will be five grades: A, B, C, D, and E.
How ZEC is Improving the National Exam Awarding System
As the new academic year approaches, the Zanzibar Examination Council has announced an improved system for awarding grades for the National Examination. These changes come after concerns were raised about the fairness of the previous system, which some students felt was biased.
The new system, which has been developed with the help of experts, will be more transparent and will take into account a wider range of factors when awarding grades. This should ensure that the grades awarded are more accurate and fair.
The Zanzibar Examination Council is committed to ensuring that all students have a fair chance of success in their exams. These changes are a step in the right direction, and we are confident that they will lead to improved results for all students.

In conclusion, the Zanzibar Examination Council’s results are awarded according to a graded structure of total marks (Division) and the average score. This system will be implemented for National exams in 2022 in order to address challenges and complaints about results. This will hopefully reduce complaints and challenges of results from stakeholders in education.
