Lower 6th classes to start next week

Primary and Secondary Education secretary Moses Mhike

Lower sixth classes will resume on Monda next week following the release of both Cambridge and Zimsec O-Level results, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education said on Monday.

“The commencement date for the 2025 lower sixth classes is Monday, the 27th of January 2025. Please ensure that all Heads of schools, teachers, parents and the pupils are advised of this date,” Primary and Secondary Education secretary Moses Mhike said in a statement.

He said the fees payable “will be on a pro-rata basis to the approved term One fees for each school”.

The Zimbabwe Schools Examinations Council released the 2024 Ordinary Level results last week, announcing a pass rate of 33,19% pass rate.

This is the highest recorded pass rate in over four decades, marking a significant milestone in Zimbabwe’s education history.

This year’s pass rate represents a steady improvement from 29,41% in 2023 and 28,96% in 2022.
