ZIMSEC announces shocking exam fees

Thirty students at Findale School in Eastview, Harare, missed their Ordinary Level Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) exams this week due to the alleged misappropriation of their exam fees by the school owner.

In response, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has stepped in to cover the examination fees, allowing the affected students to sit for their remaining subjects. This intervention was confirmed by the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Torerai Moyo, during a visit to the school.

Moyo expressed gratitude for the President’s prompt action, stating, “I want to thank His Excellency the President for coming to the rescue of all these learners because their fundamental right to education was violated through this theft by the owner of this school.”

He also highlighted the challenge posed by the rise of unregulated schools, indicating that the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education will implement measures against those operating illegally.

ZIMSEC Chief Executive Officer Dr. Lazarus Nembaware confirmed that arrangements are being made for the affected students to begin their exams. “We are now putting in place all the requirements so that the affected learners will start writing their exams starting tomorrow,” he stated.
