Students at Kwekwe Polytechnic College staged a demonstration on Wednesday at the college premises prompting anti-riot police to move in.

Engineering students were angered by the Higher Education Examination Council (Hexco)’s decision to order a rewrite of an examination whose electronics paper had leaked.

In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com, Kwekwe Polytechnic principal Evans Musara said:

> We are just following a directive from the examination board. They are the ones who ordered for that particular paper rewrite after reaching a decision.

The affected students refused to sit down for the paper for a second time and demanded that the authorities should instead deal with culprits.

One of the students who spoke to the publication on condition of anonymity had this to say:

> We were supposed to write electronics because we were told that the paper leaked. The culprits we believe were caught and they were disqualified and no-one else in the examination was caught and everyone was told to rewrite.

> We don’t know why we have been told to re-write the examination. Some students are coming from far off places and we have not been reimbursed our transport monies by the institution.

> The case we believe is before the courts. They have not opened the examination hall doors.
