The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has urged all heads of examination registration centres to adhere to the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education’s circulars on the administration of centres and schools during school holidays.
This comes after there were reports that some centres have set November registration closing date as March 30, 2023.
In a statement, ZIMSEC advised the nation that ZIMSEC 2023 November examination registration closing date is April 14, 2023.
“The November 2023 Ordinary and Advanced Level registration is currently open. All candidates who wish to sit for their examinations should register at their centre of choice.
“Centres are hereby advised that although they may wish to set deadlines which allow for administration of entries, these deadlines should not disadvantage any candidate through failure to register. Deadlines should allow for payment of fees in currencies of the parents’ choice for onward submission to ZIMSEC in the currency which they received,” reads the statement.
ZIMSEC said examination registration fees are pegged in USD and parents can make payments in ZWL, USD or ZAR (Rands).
The examination board said those who would like to make payments in ZWL will use the interbank rate which shall be communicated by ZIMSEC on April, 4 2023.
“The interbank rate prevailing on that day will apply for the period of April 4 to April 14, 2023. Payments for the examination fess should not be paid directly into ZIMSEC accounts by individual parents. Candidates/Parents should make payments to the centre of registration for forward remission to ZIMSEC,” reads the statement.
ZIMSEC issued a circular to all Examination Centres on January 31, 2023, informing of the approved Ordinary and Advanced Level June/November examinations fees and the closing dates for registration for each session.
