Scores Fail To Write Grade 7 Exams Due To Covid-19 Challenges

In Bulawayo province, a total of 560 students failed to turn up for the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) examinations for unspecified reasons. Bulawayo province has a total of 123 primary schools. “In total, Bulawayo province had 14 852 registered pupils but a total of 560 pupils failed to turn up for the examinations. This number is very high considering that in the past we have recorded a zero percentage of absentees during Grade Seven examinations,” one of the markers said.
