Unless you have been living under a rock or were in a coma you probably know by now that Grade 7 2021 results are out now-they came out last Friday. Unlike in the old days when you needed to travel to your Primary School to get results these days you can just view the results online from […]
As you probably know by now schools will not be reopening on the 10th of January 2022 as was planned. This is despite the fact that there is a memo out there that says schools will reopen next week. As often happens in Zimbabwe as soon as that memo was issued the authorities issued another order that basically […]
This year has been just every bit as tumultuous as last year due to the ongoing pandemic. Learners have only managed to go to school for two terms the first and the current third term. Despite all this limited learning and preparation that has taken place over the two year period, the government says November examinations will be […]
One common way that schools use to induce students to pay their debts is to withhold their results. Often students are in areas when they sit for their public examinations. To make sure they pay these areas schools sometimes withhold their final results and refuse to hand out results slips and certificates. The hope is that the student […]
Yesterday we mentioned that all indications were showed that the Zimbabwean government was preparing for schools to reopen soon. This follows the much-needed drop in new daily COVID-19 cases that are now below the 500 mark. Now we have a new tidbit to share. When schools reopen students will have to take turns to attend.

Last week we reported that it was unlikely that schools would reopen for the second term.

However, COVID cases have been falling over recent weeks. In […]
Zimbabwe is in the midst of a third wave that seems to be now subsiding. Schools were set to reopen on the 28th of June for the second term but that could not happen as cases were still high. The government kept postponing the reopening of schools and even now it’s not yet clear when schools will […]
The government has said that schools will remain closed despite preparations being made for them to reopen. There have been somewhat contradictory messages from the government when it comes to when schools will reopen. For example, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube hinted that the government was working to make it safe for schools to reopen:
Schools were supposed to reopen on 28 June i.e. towards the end of last month. That didn’t happen as the number of COVID-19 cases surged. The government pushed back their reopening for the second term by two weeks. This means that schools were supposed to reopen this past Monday but the number of cases have continued to balloon […]
Yesterday the government confirmed what everyone had long suspected. Schools will not be reopening on the 28 of June as had been anticipated.
