GOVERNMENT is subsidising 55 percent of examination fees for candidates in public schools, local authority schools and not-for-profit mission schools, the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) has announced. 

All candidates will pay exam fees in local currency despite being pegged in United States dollars (USD). 

“The 2022 examination fees are pegged against the USD. However, parents and guardians are advised to pay the fees at the prevailing interbank rate …, which will be communicated by Zimsec to all centres,” said Zimsec in a statement on Wednesday. 

“Payments in USD are not to be made or accepted by school or centre heads.” 

The examinations body said parents and guardians must make payments at their respective centres between July 22 and July 29, 2022.
