HARARE-The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has dismissed reports that this year’s November Ordinary and Advanced level registration will be closed on the 30th of March 2023.
In a statement released today, ZIMSEC spokesperson Nicky Dhlamini said the registration is still open and encouraged candidates who wish to sit for the examination to register at their respective centers.
“ZIMSEC wishes to make the following clarifications to the nation and our stakeholders. 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. We hereby advise the nation that ZIMSEC 2023 November examinations registration closing date is still 14 April 2023,” she said.
She urged all heads of centres to adhere to the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education’s circulars on the administration of examination centres during school holidays.
Dhlamini added that although centres may “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”.
The examination board spokesperson added that parents and guardians who want to make payments in ZWL will use the prevailing interbank rate which shall be communicated by ZIMSEC on the 4th of April and will apply until the 14th of April 2023.
She said examination registrations can also be paid in United States Dollars or Rand.
