The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has released the Ordinary and Advanced Level certificates for June 2023 and dispatched them to provinces.
In a statement, ZIMSEC advised candidates to collect their certificates from their respective schools. It said:
<blockquote>
Ordinary and Advanced Level certificates for November 2022 were released and sent to provinces in August 2023. June 2023 Ordinary and Advanced level certificates were released in December 2023. Contact your school/ centre to collect your certificates.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, some schools are notorious for withholding results and certificates from candidates with school fees arrears to force parents and guardians to pay up.
Usually, once candidates get the results, the parents will not clear the arrears.
However, the Government recently warned schools withholding results that they will be punished.

ZIMSEC Certificates For June 2023 Exams Out

Hundreds of University of Zimbabwe (UZ) graduates have expressed frustration over the institution’s failure to give them their academic certificates over a year after graduating.
Students who spoke to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200005977/uz-students-agonise-over-certificates">NewsDay</a> about the issue said failure to obtain their certificates has been hindering their chances of securing jobs.
Universities usually avail certificates to graduates on the day of graduation or a few days after the ceremony but some students who completed their degrees at UZ in December 2021 and June 2022 have not yet obtained their certificates.
UZ Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Mapfumo conceded that the university has a backlog but was working on addressing the issue. He said:
<blockquote>
We changed the form of the certificate at the institution. The process of phasing out the old certificate took longer which resulted in a backlog of certificate issuance.
However, we are working to address the issue. Over the last semester break, we have been printing out the certificates which would be ready for collection soon.
The students know that and ought to bear with us. Students who have other particular issues with the issuance of academic documents know where their complaints [can] be addressed.
The university is always ready to address any challenges faced by the students.
</blockquote>
Affected UZ graduates appealed for government intervention and criticised the university for “taking them for granted”.
