Newly elected Member of Parliament for Nsanje North Enock Chizuzu has set aside K2 million towards the payment of examination fee for students who have failed their 2020 Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) examinations and are willing to sit again for this year’s examinations in his constituency.

As a Member of Parliament, I want my constituency to have educated people who can develop the area and the nation at large. No needy student is spared and left behind and I have more to do towards quality education in the constituency” Promised Chizuzu.
The Member of Parliament also encouraged the students to work extra hard in preparation of the next examinations saying it is only through hardworking where they can do better in the examinations results.

Don’t look down because you failed, instead look forward in achieving what is coming next”, Said Chizuzu.
