THE Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has announced a fixed exchange rate of ZiG 26.65 to US$1 for examination fees paid in local currency between 10 and 14 March 2025.
This rate applies to fees for the June and November O & A Level, as well as Grade 6 and 7 examinations.
In a Finance Circular issued on 10 March, ZIMSEC Director of Finance, Ms Zipora Muzenda, said the rate is part of efforts to streamline payments during a period of significant currency fluctuations. The council will issue weekly exchange rates to assist parents and guardians in planning their payments.
ZIMSEC continues to accept fees in the currency paid by parents or guardians, with examination centres required to remit the fees in the same currency to the council.
The circular was distributed to key education officials, including the Permanent Secretaries of the Ministries of Primary and Secondary Education and Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, as well as regional managers and school heads.
