Mpemba Secondary School

Mpemba Secondary School is a secondary school at Mpemba, in the rural part of Blantyre District in southern Malawi, south-west of Blantyre city. Mpemba is a ward of the Blantyre South West constituency in Blantyre District Council. The Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of centres lists the ward's polling centres, most of them primary schools, among them Mpemba F.P. School. The Ministry of Health's national facility registry also records a government health centre named Mpemba Health Centre in Blantyre District. In Malawi, secondary education 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 enter Form 1 after completing Standard 1 to Standard 8 of primary school and sitting the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE), also set by MANEB. Secondary schools include government boarding and day schools, private schools and community day secondary schools (CDSS), which grew out of the former distance-education centres converted in 1998. Blantyre City and Blantyre District are separate local authorities. Blantyre City Council governs the city, Malawi's centre of finance and commerce and its second-largest city, with 800,264 residents at the 2018 census; Blantyre District Council covers the surrounding rural area, including Mpemba. The school has not published whether it is a government, community day or private school, nor its fees, term dates or contact details, so it is worth asking locally before travelling.
