Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) has built a classroom block for Grade 7 pupils at Chiwenga Primary School in Muzarabani\u2019s ward 24, which is on the Zimbabwe-Mozambique border.<\/p>\n

This has saved Grade 7 pupils at the school from walking almost 40km to Chadereka Primary School to sit for their final examinations.<\/p>\n

Chiwenga Primary School was established in 1984 but lessons have been conducted in the open and makeshift classrooms constructed by the community.<\/p>\n

This has negatively impacted the students\u2019 pass rate, according to school head Francis Chirunga.<\/p>\n

Chirunga expressed gratitude to ZRCS for stepping in to help the school as this has brought convenience to both learners and teachers. He said:<\/p>\n

Over the years, the school has not been conducting Grade 7 final examinations as it fell short of the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council requirements due to poor infrastructure as it did not have proper classroom structures.<\/p>\n

As such, pupils used to go and write at Chadereka, several kilometres away, something that burdened both the learner and teacher.<\/p>\n

We are fortunate that the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) came to our rescue and built a classroom to house the Grade 7s.<\/p>\n

ZRCS has also installed a solar-powered water system in the community that is providing tapped water to the school.<\/p>\n

Before the installation of the water system, teachers would fetch water from the Mukumbura River, where they competed with animals and villagers.<\/p>\n

Chiwenga Primary School has an enrolment of 703 pupils and 10 teachers.<\/p>\n

This year, 75 pupils have registered for Grade 7 examinations.<\/p>\n
