more at Grade C or better up from 16,50 percent the previous year,” he said.
“The A-Levels registered a big improvement of 10 percent at 85,25 last year, up from 75,99 percent in 2010 using a passing criterion of two or more subjects at grade E or better.
“It is pleasing to note that across all levels, the pass rates are showing an upward movement trend.”
The O and A-Level passes were however, dominated by church-run schools with an overall pass rate of 73,8 percent.
Prof Maphosa paid tribute to Zimsec staff and management for producing the results on time. He praised Zimbabwe’s education system, saying the country’s General Certificate of Education for O and A-Levels was equivalent to the United Kingdom Ordinary Levels (grades C-A) and Advanced Levels (grades E-A).
He said Zimsec had introduced e-marking, adding that this year’s June and November examinations will register developments in marking.
“Another technological development is that in the 2012 A-Level June examinations, we are piloting the registration of candidates via computer,” he said.
“In addition to Tonga, which was examined in 2011, Zimsec is going to examine more minority languages.”
