The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has officially opened registration for the June and November 2025 Ordinary and Advanced Level examinations. Candidates have been urged to visit their nearest school or examination centre to complete the registration process before the deadlines close.
In a statement, ZIMSEC announced that examination fees will be charged in US dollars, with a Government subsidy available for candidates in public schools, local authority schools, and non-profit mission schools. Private candidates, those attending private schools, and those retaking subjects will be required to pay the full amount.
Ordinary Level candidates will be required to pay US$24 per subject, with the Government subsidising US$13 for eligible candidates, leaving them to pay US$11. Advanced Level candidates will pay US$48 per subject, with a Government subsidy of US$26 reducing the cost to US$22 for qualifying students.
Payments can be made in US dollars, South African Rand, or the Zimbabwe Gold currency at the prevailing interbank rate as of March 10, 2024, for the June session and March 24, 2024, for the November session.
ZIMSEC also specified that the Government subsidy will apply to a maximum of seven subjects at Ordinary Level and four subjects at Advanced Level, including Communication Skills. However, the subsidy will not apply to candidates retaking subjects, and the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) will not cover repeat exams.
Parents and guardians have been advised to check with their respective schools or examination centres for specific registration deadlines.
"Stakeholders are encouraged to contact their respective centres for registration closing dates to avoid any inconvenience," ZIMSEC stated.
With the exam season fast approaching, students are encouraged to register early and take advantage of the available Government subsidies. For further details, candidates are advised to visit their nearest school, examination centre, or the official ZIMSEC website.
