A Kwekwe teacher has been found by Zimsec officials with a
completed Mathematics paper while the examination was still in progress.
The teacher, Ian Mhembere, who teaches Mathematics at
Camelot High School allegedly wrote a Mathematics Paper One examination on
behalf of a private candidate on 17 October. He has since been arrested and
suspended from duty.
Camelot High School head Mr Peter Martins confirmed the
incident saying the teacher has been suspended to allow investigations to proceed
smoothly.
“The teacher is on suspension pending full investigations.
The matter has been taken up by our school board who are conducting
investigations. Everybody is just waiting for the investigations as our board
and the police have been calling in people for questioning so we are eagerly
waiting for the outcome,” said Mr Martins.
The school’s Board of Trustees chairperson, Mr George
Tobaiwa, said a Zimsec team conducted investigations after they discovered
there was a missing paper.
“The Zimsec team who were on routine checks discovered that
the papers in the exam room did not tally with the number of candidates. After
conducting an investigation, the paper was found in possession of the teacher
who had already completed it with the details of the said candidate on the
paper,” he said.
If found guilty, the teacher would be expelled.
