The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) released the November 2020 ZIMSEC Ordinary Level Examination results this Monday.
ZIMSEC Board chairman Professor Eddie Mwenje told a press conference on Monday morning that Heads of Examination Centres will be able to collect the results for their respective schools/centres from the ZIMSEC Regional Offices starting today 3 May 2021.
Mwenje also said results will be accessible online for five days only through the ZIMSEC portal available at www.zimsec.co.zw from 10 pm today, 3 May 2021.
A total of 264 099 candidates sat for the November 2020 Ordinary Level examination as compared to 296 464 candidates who sat for the same examinations in 2019.
There was a decrease in the candidature of 32 365, thus translating to a percentage decrease of 11%.
In 2020, a total of 184 249 candidates wrote 5 or more subjects and 45 644 passed 5 or more subjects with a grade C or better giving an overall pass rate of 24.8%.
In 2019, 200 062 wrote 5 or more subjects and 63 215 obtained Grade C or better in 5 or more subjects. This translated to a 31.6 % pass rate.
The statistics show that the 2020 pass rate decreased by 6.8% from that of 2019. However, historical analysis indicates that in 2014 a pass rate of 22.4% was recorded while in 2017, a pass rate of 28.7% was recorded.
School candidates
School candidates who wrote five or more subjects were 168 272 and 43 244 obtained Grade C or better in 5 or more subjects, yielding a 25.7% pass rate.
In 2019, school candidates were 176 866 out of which 59 879 obtained Grade C or better in 5 or more subjects, yielding a 33.9% pass rate. This shows that the 2020 pass rate for school candidates decreased by 8.2%.
Private candidates
Private candidates who wrote 5 or more subjects in November 2020 were 15 977 and 2 403 obtained Grade C or better in 5 or more subjects, which translates into a pass rate of 15.04%.
In 2019, 23 196 wrote 5 or more subjects and 3 336 obtained a Grade C or better in 5 or more subjects, yielding a pass rate of 14.4%. This shows a 1.04% increase in the 2020 pass rate for private candidates.
Female candidates
The total number of female candidates that entered for the November 2020 Ordinary Level examinations was 136 847.
Out of this number 95 314 wrote 5 or more subjects with 22 581 passing 5 or more subjects, thus translating to a pass rate of 23.7%.
The total number of female candidates that entered for the 2019 O level examinations was 152 389.
Out of this number 101 798 wrote 5 or more subjects and 34 952 passed 5 or more subjects yielding a 34.3% pass rate. The pass rate for 2020 November female candidates decreased by 10.6%.
Male candidates
The total number of male candidates who entered to sit for the November 2020 Ordinary level examinations was 127 152 and of these 88 935 wrote 5 or more subjects and 23 580 passed 5 or more subjects translating to a percentage pass rate of 26.5.
In 2019 there were 144 075 male candidates who registered for the O level examinations. Of this number, 98 264 wrote 5 or more subjects and 32 388 passed 5 or more subjects yielding a pass rate of 33%. The pass rate for male candidates in 2020 decreased by 6.5%. The results show that male candidates performed slightly better than female candidates.
The overall pass rate for males was 26.5% and that for females was 23.7%. The same trend was observed in the November 2019 examinations where male candidates performed better than females. However, more female candidates registered for the examination than their male counterparts.
Special needs candidates
A total of 321 special needs candidates sat for a range of subjects from 1 to 12 in the November 2020 examinations.
Of these 223 wrote 5 or more subjects and 48 passed 5 or more subjects yielding an overall percentage pass rate of 21.5.
The total number of special needs candidates who sat for the November 2019 O level examinations was 332.
Of these 215 registered for 5 or more subjects and 64 obtained 5 or more subjects yielding a percentage pass rate of 29.8. The 2020 pass rate for special needs candidates decreased by 8.3%.
Professor Mwenje blamed the low pass rate on the disruption of the school calendar in 2020 that was caused by the COVID-19-induced lockdowns. He said:
<blockquote>It is important for all the stakeholders of examinations to note that the 2020 school calendar was disrupted and that candidates wrote the examinations under lockdown in 2021. We are grateful to Government for allowing the examinations to go on.
Amidst the strict observance of the WHO suggested COVID 19 precautions to mitigate against the spread of the novel virus, examinations were written and marked without any major incidents or notable setbacks.
The examinations went on exceptionally well without major incidence. This was enabled by the immense support ZIMSEC received from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and the Ministry of Health and Child Care.</blockquote>

Full Details: November 2020 ZIMSEC Ordinary Level Results Out

Teachers say the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has not yet informed them about the preparations for the marking of the June 2020 exams.
Zimbabwe Teacher’s Association (ZIMTA) chief executive Sifiso Ndlovu told ZTN News that ZIMSEC only told them that it was looking for funds to ensure that the markers are paid. Said Ndlovu:
<blockquote>ZIMSEC has not given us any dosage of their preparations regarding who is going to be marking and the logistics they have put in place.
Save to say they are looking for resources to ensure that marking proceeds and the markers are paid.
Whether they have finalised that or not, they are yet to inform us as the stakeholders.</blockquote>
ZIMSEC board chairperson Eddie Mwenje told the publication that marking should commence by the end of this week. He said:
<blockquote>We have trained markers already in our databases and we will follow the Ministry of Health systems. They offered to do PCR testing for free. Marking should kick off in earnest at all centres by end of the week. We will let you know the progress.</blockquote>
The examinations will be marked regionally which is a departure from the norm where markers meet at various centres as authorities try to ensure markers are safe from the novel coronavirus.

Marking Of June 2020 ZIMSEC Exams Yet To Start

The Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association (ZIMTA) and the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) have said learners are not prepared to write public examinations this year as they have not yet finished their syllabuses.
ZIMTA chief executive officer Sifiso Ndlovu said it would be unfair to the learners if Government goes ahead with plans of scheduling the November exams this year as both the learners and the teachers were ill-prepared after losing significant learning time due to the lockdown. He said:
<blockquote>These learners have lost approximately 122 learning days and that means the learners have not covered the syllabi, they have not had the opportunity to revise and prepare for the examinations, neither are the teachers prepared to get the learners into examination mode.</blockquote>
PTUZ president Takavafira Zhou asserted that the only time that pupils will be able to write examinations will be February next year. Said Zhou:
<blockquote>The only time possible for sitting of these exams will be February next year because for learners to be ready for exams, they require at least two to three months of intense learning, it’s important for us to realise that exams are a process, not an event.</blockquote>
Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) board chairperson Eddie Mwenje said examinations will only be written when students have completed the syllabus and when it is safe to do so, even if it means pushing the examinations to December this year or January next year.

Teachers Want ZIMSEC Exams In February 2021

The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) chairperson Eddie Mwenje said that schools are likely to be opened in September, with public examinations starting in December and ending in January.
Mwenje added that Grade Seven examinations will be written first since the exams body is fully prepared for them. He said:
<blockquote>Schools are likely to be opened in September and the announcement is probably to be made next week (this week).
So, after they have made the announcement, we will then meet with the Ministry (of Primary and Secondary Education) and finalise how learners should catch up. Our thinking is examinations can start in December and overlap into January 2021.
The Grade Seven examinations will be the first examinations since we are now through with preparing for them.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) president Takafira Zhou said unions have submitted their proposals to Government on the way forward. He said:
<blockquote>We made a two-part proposal to Government for schools to be opened in September or October this year, then schools close in December; then we open early next year, with national examinations written in mid-February to March. Then instead of having three terms, we have two terms.
The other proposal is to have schools open in September or October and then we have a crash programme this year.</blockquote>
Zhou said, however, the opening of schools will largely depend on Government being able to provide a safe environment for teachers and learners amid the coronavirus crisis.
Schools were closed in March when coronavirus was brought into the country and a planned reopening in July was shelved after local transmissions surged.

Opening Of Schools Likely In September, Exams To Spill Into January - ZIMSEC

ZIMSEC is determined to go ahead with June exams as it released the June Examinations Timetable today, Zim Morning Post reports.
According to the publication, ZIMSEC chairperson Eddie Mwenje said ordinary and advanced level exams were scheduled for June 30 to July 20  and June 30 to July 23, 2020, respectively.
Mwenje also said more centres will be set up to allow social distancing and other WHO safety measures will be employed:
<blockquote>More stand-alone centres will be created to minimise movement and contact between administrators from different centres.
Examination centres are to observe the minimum one metre distance between candidates’ desk</blockquote>
However, teachers particularly teachers under ZIMTA said they were not ready for June exams. ZIMTA CEO is on record saying:
<blockquote>We are not ready for June examinations. Teachers are not willing. If the authorities go ahead with their plan, we are headed for industrial conflict. We cannot have pronouncements that ignore environmental dictates,</blockquote>

ZIMSEC Releases June Exams Timetable

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_School_Examinations_Council" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zimbabwe Schools Examinations Council (ZIMSEC</a>) has defended its decision to hike Ordinary Level and Advanced Level exam fees by 1 200 per cent.
Board Chairman, Professor Eddie Mwenje said the development was cost-driven and the ZIMSEC management gave the necessary justification for the new fees structure to be approved. He said:
<blockquote>Yes, the examination fees were reviewed. This comes after we did not review them last year. It is an expense to run an examination and we are cognizant of the fact that children should have a right to education.</blockquote>
ZIMSEC increased examination fees to $190 per subject from $15 for Ordinary Level candidates and $351 per subject from $26 for Advanced Level candidates.
Closing dates for payments and submission of entries for June 2020 examinations is 28 February while the closing date for November is 27 March.
