Govt, parents clash over June exams suspension
BY NIZBERT MOYO
PARENTS are up in arms with government over its recent decision to suspend Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (Zimsec) June “O” and “A” Level examinations.
Most parents interviewed by
NewsDay yesterday said they had spent a lot of money on extra lessons, only to be told that the examinations had been suspended.
Government last week announced that it had suspended the June Zimsec examinations that normally cater for supplementary examinations, citing COVID-19 delays in writing and marking of the November/December examinations, which negatively impacted the timing and the cycle of public examinations.
