This was revealed in a document by the examinations board that showed the following statistics:<\/p>\n

According to ZIMSEC board Chair Professor Eddie Mwenje, the 2020 pass rate fell by 9.79% as he gave the statistics s of the subjects that did well and said:<\/p>\n

The 2020 national pass rate is 37,11 percent, which is lower than the 2019 national pass rate, which was 46,9 percent. This translates to a decrease of 9,79 percent.<\/p>\n

Like in 2019, indigenous languages, again, recorded high subject pass rates when compared to performances in English, Mathematics, Agriculture and General Paper<\/p>\n

While the pass rate in Shona, Ndebele, Nambya, Tshivenda, Xichangana and Kalanga were above 65 percent, Sesotho and Tonga were at 54,62 and 52,38 percent respectively<\/p>\n

The grade sevens were in school for less than 5 months due to the ongoing ravaging COVID-19 pandemic before they had to sit for their end of year examinations which also marks the end of their primary school education.<\/p>\n
