A student at Maranatha Academy, Ruth Kanduku, has improved her Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) results to eight points following a remark by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB).
The revised results make Kanduku the school’s top-performing student in the 2026 examinations.
Three other students from the institution, Nellie Ntiza, Ishmael Chitedze and Joyce Ndhovu, have scored nine points each.
Maranatha Academy managing director Ernest Kaonga says Kanduku will receive K10 million, while the other three students will each receive K5 million in recognition of their performance.
“I promised them, and a promise is a promise. Ruth Kanduku will get K10 million for scoring eight points. Nellie Ntiza, Ishmael Chitedze and Joyce Ndhovu will each get K5 million for scoring nine points. Hard work must pay,” says Kaonga.
He says the rewards are intended to recognise academic achievement and encourage other students to work hard.
“These students have made Maranatha, their parents and Malawi proud. We believe in rewarding excellence because when you reward excellence, you create more excellence. Ruth, Nellie, Ishmael and Joyce have shown the whole country what discipline and focus can do,” he adds.
Kaonga says the school will continue investing in quality teachers, discipline and student motivation as part of its efforts to promote academic excellence.
Kanduku’s revised score puts her among the country’s top MSCE performers for 2026.
