Harare — The High Court has ordered the Zimbabwe Secondary Examination Council (Zimsec) to consider releasing Ordinary Level results using the outcome of the English Paper 1 — since Paper 2 was extensively compromised by leaks.
The judgment effectively rules out the widely disputed call by the examination board for the 260 000 candidates to resit the November 2017 examination.
The ruling bring relief to parents who were supposed to folk out more for the resit, with some having to travel for long distances to get to their respective centres.
Earlier, Justice Loice Matanda Moyo — sitting with Justice Priscilla Munangati-Manongwa — said it was surprising that heads did not roll at Zimsec which has become an anchorage of bungling.
“The whole system needs overhaul. Heads must roll. It is quite surprising that nothing is being done to the officials. This is a problem caused by officials at Zimsec. It cannot be business as usual,” said Justice Matanda-Moyo.
Justice Munangati-Manongwa weighed in reading minutes from Zimsec on the deliberations and recommendations made before the examinations body ordered a resit of the examination.
In the minutes, Zimsec board members seem to acknowledge bungling. The minutes stated that the cheating could have emanated at setting of the examination, printing, collection and distribution, among other levels.
