Government Pledges To Eliminate Zero Per Cent Grade 7 Pass Rates By 2030

The government has pledged to eliminate the zero per cent pass rate recorded by some schools at the Grade 7 level and is targetting a nearly 100 per cent national pass rate by 2030.

The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) released the 2024 Grade 7 results on Friday, showing a 49.01 per cent pass rate, a notable increase from last year’s 45.57 per cent.

Girls achieved an average pass rate of 53.68 per cent, while boys had a lower rate of 43.99 per cent.

However, some schools recorded zero pass rates, particularly in the Matabeleland region. For instance, three schools in Gwanda District—Zindele, Koodooval, and Driehoek—had zero pass rates.

In Insiza District, schools such as Mbembesi, Zhampale, Tshunkunyane, and Gwatemba also reported zero pass rates.

In Bulilima District, Ndutshwa, Phumuza, and Riverblock scored zero passes.

The same situation occurred in Matabeleland North, affecting schools like Somakantana, Hompane, and Makhasane, as well as others in Lupane, Hwange, Bubi, Tsholotsho, Binga, and Umguza Districts.

In response to questions from the Chronicle about addressing the zero pass rates in mostly rural schools, Director of Communications and Advocacy Taungana Ndoro said that the government plans to allocate more resources to these schools.

This includes providing textbooks, teaching materials, advanced technology, and building science laboratories. Said Ndoro:

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is proud of the Grade 7 examination performance for 2024, which shows that fundamentally we are improving over the last four years.

In 2020 our pass rate was around 37 percent and now 2024 it’s at 49 percent, which is a phenomenal increase of about 12 percent over the last four years, which is very commendable.

We see ourselves going forward increasing our pass rate bridging the 50 percent mark by next year and in the foreseeable future up until 2030 when we should be almost 100 percent.

In terms of the pass rates, the zero percent pass rate, I am sure we have repeatedly said that this is soon going to be a thing of the past.

As I indicated the trends are showing that the pass rate has been increasing over the past four years. So, we know it will be extinct very soon because our strategies are working well.

Basically the Zanu Pf gvt dont want kidz of the povo to be educated because they want them to be gardenboys, housemaids, farmworkers, mine labourers of their kidz whom they send overseas to receive true quality education. Slavery and colonisation is not over but it has taken another form- no longer white-2-black but black-2-black

The problem with the lack of Ndebele speaking teachers is much more complicated than Zanu PF sabotaging the region. Yes Zanu PF is somewhat responsible through tanking the economy but one has to look at these areas, they're very much remote and underdeveloped and the few Ndebele teachers who are there are either not enough, have flocked to South Africa or basically don't want to go teach in those backward regions. Ideally in a developed country you will train teachers who are from there so that you don't have to struggle to convince people to relocate but the problem is that no one is passing in those areas because of the poor education rendered there and the kids over there are not even interested in learning due to various reasons, so the vicious cycle perpuates. The only way to solve that mess is comprehensively developing those areas or resuscitating the major Southern cities and towns such as Bulawayo, Hwange, Beitbridge and Plumtree so that people will move from those underserviced areas and get jobs in the urban areas thereby improving their standards of living.

since the new curriculum was introduced government did not buy text books for schools to support the new curriculum. in remote areas you only find a teachers copy so how do we expect those children to pass. hurumende ngaibatsirane ne government kutenga ma text books ma teacher opiwawo mu**** wakaringana
