MBABANE – The country’s education sector continues to give more diverse opportunities for higher learning for the youth. The latest development was announced by the Minister of Education Lady Howard concerning the vocational education in the country.

“The Eswatini Prevocational Certificate of Secondary Education (EPCSE) was being written for the first time under an agreement with the Cambridge institution. This means that these students will now be able to use their certifications to apply for enrollment in the country’s universities like EGCSE students.”

The Minister also thanked the teachers who were marking the scripts from the exams as they had to multitask between teaching and grading. Minister Howard also announced that there were 365 students who sat for the 2021 exams.
