Zimsec extends June registration deadline In a statement, Zimsec said parents and guardians were free to use Zimbabwe dollars, rand or US dollars to pay the fees.
Parents have welcomed the extension of the June examination
registration period for Ordinary and Advanced level by the Zimbabwe School
Examination Council (Zimsec) from 15 March to Friday this week.
In a statement, Zimsec said parents and guardians were free
to use Zimbabwe dollars, rand or US dollars to pay the fees.
While fees are set in US dollars, payment in local currency
is at the prevailing exchange rate, with Zimsec using a rate of March 17, that
is $1 005:US$1 for this week’s payments.
“Stakeholders and clients must note that Government subsidy
does not apply to candidates retaking any subjects, BEAM does not support
retake examinations and candidates should have fulfilled the CALA requirements
for them to sit for the June examinations” read the notice.
Ms Brenda Taodzera, a parent from Ruwa thanked Zimsec for
more time.
“The extension of the registration period is a good thing
done by Zimsec as it gives us time to pay up examination fees for our
children,” said Ms Taodzera.
Mr Tarusango Mahara of Harare said after getting his salary
he will pay for the examination fees.
Mrs T Mlambo, a civil servant, said things have been tight,
but she will pay for the fees before deadline. Herald
