All set for June 2025 Zimsec exams

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has assured the nation that all preparations for the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) June 2025 examinations are in place, with the session officially commencing this Friday.

Speaking at a media briefing in Harare on Thursday, the Ministry's Director of Communications and Advocacy, Mr Taungana Ndoro, said the examinations had already started with practical subjects and were progressing without incident.

"We are pleased to announce that the June exams have commenced smoothly, with our Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations proceeding without any challenges," Ndoro said.

The June examinations mainly cater to private candidates, particularly those seeking to improve their results after the previous November session.

"These exams provide an opportunity for candidates to re-sit and improve on subjects they may have underperformed in," Ndoro added. "It's a vital second chance, especially for those pursuing further education or career progression."

Ndoro also emphasized the importance of school-based projects in the overall assessment of students' academic performance. These projects, he noted, remain a crucial component of the end-of-year grading system.

The ministry said it remains committed to upholding the integrity and credibility of national examinations, ensuring that logistical arrangements - from printing to distribution and security - are managed efficiently.

As exam fever grips candidates across the country, education authorities have called on all stakeholders to support the process and ensure a conducive environment for learners.
