A Grade Five learner at Angels Island Private School wrote the 2023 Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) examinations and got distinctions in all her six subjects.
PraiseGod Chapepa (12) wrote English, Mathematics, Agriculture, Science and Tech, Shona, Social Science and Physical Education and Arts and obtained a distinction in each subject.
The Chitungwiza-based learner told <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/grade-5-genius-gets-distinctions-in-grade-7-exams/">H-Metro</a> that aspires to be a neurologist or a lawyer because of her passion for helping the vulnerable. She said:
<blockquote>
I was supposed to be in Grade 6 next year and I wrote my Grade 7 exams where I scored six units. I felt like I could make it and I did.
I had confidence since I wanted to pursue my profession in seven years, and that’s why I decided to skip [grades].
I want to be a neurologist or a lawyer since I want to help those who are vulnerable.
I have been getting some prizes for academics, spelling, mathematics and good handwriting.
I am my role model, I love singing and I also enjoy writing scripts.
</blockquote>
PraiseGod’s mother, Melissa said she was not surprised by her daughter’s success. She said:
<blockquote>
Since she was born, we saw that she was exceptional since she is someone who always wanted to argue.
She would want everything she wanted to be done in her favour and that alone indicated to us that she was extraordinary.
She is exceptional in the family and even the day we wanted to register her, we had an extreme argument with her father over her name.
Her father insisted that the name was right so the name had a meaning from the day she was registered.
She is very critical and inquisitive and we are happy as a family and prepared to support her dream.

Grade Five Learner Gets Distinctions In ZIMSEC Grade 7 Exams

The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Torerayi_Moyo/">Torerai Moyo</a>, has suggested scrapping Grade Seven exams conducted by the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC). Instead, the minister proposes focusing on <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Continuous_Assessment_Learning_Activity_(CALA)/">continuous assessment (CALA)</a> tests and having students take their first public exams at the O-level.
Minister Moyo believes that eliminating Grade Seven exams will protect students from negative influences and societal issues, according to <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/minister-proposes-scrapping-of-grade-7-exams/">the Chronicle</a>. The statement was made during a meeting addressing drug and substance abuse in Bulawayo. He said:
<blockquote>
In my personal opinion, it is important for us to eliminate Grade Seven examinations and continue with continuous assessment even at Grade Seven. When they are transitioning to Form One, they can use their third-term report. When enrolling them for Form One, secondary schools can give them assessment tests.
We did benchmarking to Finland and Sweden when I was the chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee of Primary and Secondary Education and observed that they are progressing well. Educators just give assessments to their children from Grade One right up to Form Four.
They just write one public examination, which is Ordinary level and it has worked very well. I think we also need to consider that in Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
Minister Moyo believes that eliminating Grade Seven exams will reduce the time students spend outside of school, thus reducing their exposure to drug abuse and other societal issues. The minister is also concerned about the increase in teenage pregnancies among girls after completing Grade Seven exams. Moyo has since instructed Grade Seven students to remain in class after their exams. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has announced that Grade Seven students will now attend classes until the end of the school term, instead of closing school immediately after exams. He said:
<blockquote>
Another directive that we have given to schools is that Grade Seven teachers should make provisions for lessons for our pupils. If they stay at home, they will have a lot of time which will be wasted and learners will be engaged in drug and substance abuse.
So, as a ministry, we saw that it is prudent to have those learners remaining in their schools and continue with lessons. When we talk of a curriculum it involves a lot of things such as public speaking, and sporting activities hence children must be engaged and continue with continuous assessment so that they are not influenced by their peers to engage in drug and substance abuse.
</blockquote>
Minister Moyo stated that the government will make the outcomes of the curriculum review consultations public. The review process focused on Continuous Assessment Learning Activities (CALA). Consultants have been engaged to produce a report on CALA, which will be released as a public document soon.
The minister also mentioned that the government has secured $10 million to construct new schools, addressing the issue of overcrowding and hot sitting. The aim is to provide adequate infrastructure and eliminate the need for students to share desks. He said the government plans to fund the construction of 3,000 new schools to alleviate the deficit.

The Zimbabwe Schools Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has maintained the 2022 Grade Seven examination fees.
Parents and guardians will pay US$29 for all subjects while Government subsidizes the fees with US$36 for the US$65 fees.
The amount should be paid in either foreign or local currency based on the prevailing interbank rate on 03 March 2023. ZIMSEC said in a statement:
<blockquote>
Please be advised that the examination fees for 2023 is US$65 for all subjects.
Government will contribute US$36 for candidates in public schools while parents and guardians will pay US$29.
Candidates from private schools and colleges will pay the full cost of US$65 as examination fees for the year.
</blockquote>
ZIMSEC spokesperson Nicky Dlamini said the termly figure will be US$10 but parents can pay the whole amount which is US$29 between 3 March and 10 March. Said Dlamini:
<blockquote>
We are basically using the same fees structure as that of last year. If a parent or guardian wants to pay the whole amount once, they will fork out US$29, between March 3 and March 10.
If one decides to pay in installments, one will pay US$10 per term.

ZIMSEC Grade 7 Examination Fees Unchanged

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education says Grade Grade 7 learners should continue attending school until the end of the term for social protection.
Grade 7 learners finished writing their Zimbabwe School Examination Council (ZIMSEC) examinations on Monday, almost two months before the end of the third term.
Ministry spokesperson Taungana Ndoro said keeping the learners in school will prevent them from engaging in wayward behaviour. He said:
<blockquote>
The school system protects them from sexual, physical and emotional abuse. Being at school prevents them from loafing around in the townships where they end up engaging in wayward behaviour.
</blockquote>
He said Grade 7 pupils should use the period after writing examinations for educational tours as well as to learn how to transition to the secondary level. Said Ndoro:
<blockquote>
It is the time when they would go on educational tours to places like Victoria Falls, Kariba and the like since it has thematic links to other learning areas across the curriculum.
</blockquote>
In a memorandum dated 11 October 2022, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education instructed District Schools Inspectors to remind primary school heads that Grade 7 learners should continue to attend classes. Reads the memo:
<blockquote>
District Schools Inspectors, kindly remind your Heads of Schools (Primary) that Grade 7 pupils are to continue to attend school as they will now be doing the Life Orientation Programme (LOP).
Request your schools to submit timetable for Life Orientation Programme, at the same time submit attendance statistics daily.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Ndoro added that parents and guardians also paid fees for the whole term, so stopping children from going to school would be short-changing them. | <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/grade-7-learners-to-return-to-school-continue-with-syllabus/">The Herald</a>

Ministry Explains Why Grade 7 Pupils Should Continue Attending Classes After Final Exams

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has ordered Grade 7 pupils to continue attending school after their final public examinations ended on Monday this week.
The Ministry has said during this period, Grade 7 pupils must go through what it calls a “Life Orientation Programme”.
According to a memo from Jameson Machimbira, the provincial education director for Harare, schools inspectors have been instructed to remind heads to keep pupils at school, to “submit timetables for the Life Orientation Programme” and also provide “time attendance statistics daily”.
However, Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) secretary-general Raymond Majongwe said teachers were never consulted. Majongwe said:
<blockquote>
The poor teachers have no idea what they will be teaching.
… What happened to stakeholder engagement? Schools are not paddocks. This is crazy! Why invent new rules mid-flight?
Let the kids and the teachers rest. Preparations for examinations are a tough game.
</blockquote>
Majongwe also questioned if Ordinary Level and Advanced Level candidates will also be forced to stay at school after finishing their ZIMSEC examinations. | <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/2022/10/government-orders-grade-7-pupils-to-stay-at-school-after-exams/">ZimLive</a>

Govt Orders Grade 7 Pupils To Stay At School After Exams

A Grade Seven pupil at Muvhimwa Primary School in Makoni District was injured when a classroom roof was blown off while the learners were sitting for their ZIMSEC examinations last week.
Makoni District Schools Inspector, George Chidhakwa, confirmed the incident to <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/new-roof-blown-off-during-exam/">The Manica Post</a> adding that it did not affect the examination as the invigilating teacher was collecting answer sheets from the learners. Said Chidhakwa:
<blockquote>
Some roofing sheets were blown off at Muvhimwa Primary and there are no reports of injuries to learners and staff. The examination was not disturbed.
</blockquote>
However, a source at the school said that one of the learners suffered minor injuries when asbestos sheets fell into the classroom. Said the source:
<blockquote>
Strong winds swept through our school and one classroom where the learners were sitting for a Shona paper had its roof blown off.
The asbestos sheets fell right into the classroom where the invigilator was collecting answer sheets from the candidates.
A learner was hit by debris and sustained minor injuries. The teacher managed to control the stampeding learners.
