How we cover IEB and why it matters

African EduNews Tree focuses on facts that change what students and schools need to do.

Quick, practical advice for learners and parents

Need exam-ready tips? Do timed past papers under exam conditions and mark them with official memos. That shows where you lose marks and builds pace. If you struggle in one topic, swap two short daily practice sessions for one long session — short, frequent practice beats marathon cramming.

Before results day: confirm your contact details with your school and set up the IEB online result alerts where available. Schools usually receive official results first; ask your teacher how and when your school will share them so you’re not left guessing.

If results look wrong, start with your teacher. Schools handle appeals and rechecks with the IEB, and there are set windows and fees for these requests. We report when the IEB updates those windows or changes fees so families know deadlines.

Teachers and school admins: use the tag to catch policy shifts that affect marking, assessment portability, or syllabus adjustments. We highlight official circulars and explain practical steps—what paperwork to file, what to tell parents, and simple classroom changes to match new guidance.

Want real-time updates? Follow our social channels and subscribe to the African EduNews Tree newsletter. That gives you headlines the moment they publish and short explainers you can act on without hunting through full documents.

Questions about a headline? Leave a comment on the story or reach out via our contact page. We try to answer reader questions and link to trusted resources so you can take the next step—whether that’s registering for exams, downloading past papers, or starting an appeal.

Keep this tag handy. When the IEB makes a move, you’ll find clear news and practical steps here — no jargon, no fluff, just what matters for learners and schools.
