Pupils travel 40km to write exams
BY MOSES MUGUGUNYEKI
Grade 7 pupils at Chiwenga Primary School in Muzarabani district, who for many years had to endure a 40km distance to go and write final examinations at Chadereka Primary School, have been rescued from the ordeal following the construction of a classroom block by the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS).
Chiwenga Primary School, which is on the border of Zimbabwe and Mozambique, was established in 1984.
However, over the years, the school which also enrolls students from Mozambique has not been conducting Grade 7 final examinations as it fell short of the Zimbabwe School Examination Council (Zimsec) requirements.
