Students resist Hexco exam rewrite

Scores of disgruntled former Kwekwe Polytechnic students yesterday refused to resit for an examination in which some of the candidates were caught cheating, leading to the nullification of the results of all the candidates who sat for that paper in March this year.

The students argued they could not be punished for the crimes of their colleagues.

The Higher Education Examination Council (Hexco) board withheld the results of all the candidates who sat for the national certificate in electronics and engineering science papers during the March/April 2019 examination session and directed the affected students to resit for the paper.
