Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (ZIMSEC) last week extended the deadline for the submission of Continuous Assessment Learning Activities (CALA) work by a week.<\/p>\n

Schools were expected to have submitted CALA by Tuesday last week but ZIMSEC extended the deadline to today.<\/p>\n

Some schools had failed to meet the deadline prompting the extension by the examinations body. ZIMSEC director, Lazarus Nembaware said:<\/p>\n

CALA was extended by a week because most schools were facing logistical challenges.<\/p>\n

However we understand that schools are now ready to submit, with ZIMSEC set to receive the grading from the schools.<\/p>\n

He said examinations were progressing well without any challenges.<\/p>\n

Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education spokesperson Taungana Ndoro said there were very few coronavirus cases in schools. He said:<\/p>\n

So far everything is going on well. Of course cases of COVID-19 are there in schools but there are only a few.<\/p>\n

Students who test positive will be quarantined or isolated but will still be able to sit for examinations.<\/p>\n

Schools are implementing the Ministry\u2019s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and the WHO guidelines.<\/p>\n

Some 338 000 Grade Seven pupils, 255 000 Ordinary Level and 50 000 Advanced Level candidates are sitting for the 2021 ZIMSEC examinations.<\/p>\n
