The state exam, crucial for future Kindu students, opened with the first day focused on general knowledge. The students, apparently well prepared, found the test affordable, but expressed constructive criticism towards the invigilators, hoping to be less intimidated during their exams. Willy Ngongo Kitenge, one of the participants, underlines the importance of concentration and calm to succeed in these tests which will determine their future.
At the heart of the event was the students’ request to supervisors for a less oppressive presence. This request underlines the importance of a calm environment conducive to concentration for candidates, who should not be disturbed in their thinking process. This legitimate request should be heard by educational authorities in order to ensure fair examination conditions for all.
The opening ceremony of this exam, which took place in Tuendelee primary school, was marked by calls for rigor and discipline from the candidates. PROVED underlined the importance of the performance of the finalists to restore the image of the educational province, which it considers to be in decline compared to other regions of the country. It thus encourages students to work seriously to obtain results that meet expectations and to contribute to the academic excellence of their region.
With more than 13,000 candidates spread across 46 examination centers, this event is of paramount importance for the educational future of the young people of Kindu. With the events taking place over four days, expectations are high as to the resulting results. Educational authorities and invigilators therefore have a vital role to play in guaranteeing optimal examination conditions and allowing each candidate to give the best of themselves.
In conclusion, the state exam in Kindu is a crucial moment for finalists, where concentration, rigor and a calm environment are essential to their success. Student feedback regarding the attitude of invigilators highlights the importance of benevolent and non-intimidating supervision, in order to promote optimal exam conditions for everyone. Hopefully these recommendations will be taken into account to ensure the fairness and quality of this decisive exam for the future of Kindu students.
