Government exams in Zambia Cancel Se requiere un título

I learned last week that the government exams Zambia had been canceled. Today I read that the exams required  for the eighth and twelfth grades will be proceeding but apparently not the ones required for the tenth grade. Without them ninth grades students will not be able to advance to the tenth grade or to receive a certificate of completion/ diploma from the ninth grade.  I understand that there isn't anything CI can do about this. But I hope CI would share any information or updates they may  have regarding the exams.  It's especially important to me as the youth I sponsor is nineteen and will aging out of the program in about a week. So any insight or information on this issue from CI would be important to me and also to sponsors of any students that were scheduled to take these exams.
