Welcome to The ECZ Website

The Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) is a corporate body established in 1983 by an Act of Parliament Number 15 (as amended in 1994), Chapter 137 of the Laws of Zambia with a mandate to set, conduct and award qualifications to candidates who sit and pass the examinations conducted by the Council. The Act was repealed and replaced with Act No. 3 of 2023. The ECZ develops and administers examinations at the end of Primary (Grade 7 Composite examination), end of Junior Secondary School (Junior Secondary School Leaving Examination) and end of senior secondary (School Certificate Ordinary or ‘O’ Level Examination). The Council also conducts Teacher Education Examinations for Early Childhood Education (ECE), Primary Teachers Diploma (PTD) and Secondary Teachers Diploma (STD).
