Chembera Community Day Secondary School

Chembera Community Day Secondary School is a community day secondary school (CDSS) in Balaka District, in Malawi's Southern Region. The Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of voter registration centres, in its Balaka District Council section, lists a centre named Chembera School in the Chikowa ward of the Balaka Bwaila constituency. The same register names Chembera TDC, a teacher development centre, as the constituency's tally centre. Secondary education in Malawi runs from Form 1 to Form 4 and ends with the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). Pupils are selected for Form 1 on the results of the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE), taken at the end of Standard 8. Community day secondary schools are government day schools, attended by pupils who live at home; they grew out of the former distance-education centres, which were converted into secondary schools in 1998. Balaka District covers 2,140 square kilometres and had 438,379 residents at the 2018 census. Its administrative centre is Balaka township, and Nkaya, within the district, is the junction point of Malawi's road and rail systems. Fees, term dates, enrolment arrangements and a contact number for the school have not been published online.
