Zimbabwe Students Excel In Cambridge Examinations
The wave of academic excellence continues to sweep across the country as demonstrated by outstanding results in the recently-released Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Results.
The results, released earlier this month, reveal sweeping pass rates across various subjects with most schools that include Samuel Centenary Junior School, Havard Junior School and St Martins Allure Elementary clocking 100% pass rates.
Among them is wizkid Rugare Mutendi, whose exceptional performance has ignited dreams of a future in medicine.
“I’m super excited about my achievement and now looking forward to do sciences at a better level and be a doctor the exams where quite decent,” Rugare says.
The consistent performance over the years highlights the dedication and strength of Zimbabwe’s education system.
“We are grateful we have all the results scoring 50/50 and being recognised. These results are a testament to the resilience and talent of our young people. Our education is tailor made for everyone locals and foreigners and it gives them opportunities abroad,” noted Educationist and Principal Samuel Centenary Junior School, Ms Rumbidzai Tatai.
Harvard Junior School Director, Ms Loice Magweba said, “This is a good development for us to have 99% pass rates which is slightly lower than what we had last year. Our government has given options to have both ZIMSEC and Cambridge examinations.”
In 2023, 115 top-performing students from 39 schools across Zimbabwe received Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, while 10 students won the “Top in the World” category.
The strong performance in internationally-recognised examinations opens doors for Zimbabwean students seeking further education and career opportunities abroad, showcasing the quality of education in the country which combines heritage-based curriculum as the country strives to develop a knowledge-based economy. *ZBC*
