Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) said that schools will no longer incur bank charges when they remit examination fees to the examinationS body.<\/p>\n

ZIMSEC undertook to meet the bank charges and the development has been welcomed by schools.<\/p>\n

Previously, some schools incurred bank charges of as much as $200 000 while ZIMSEC received their full share of the money.<\/p>\n

In a statement via finance circular Number 5 of 2022 and addressed to Zimsec regional managers, heads of Ordinary and Advanced Level examination centres as well as primary schools heads, ZIMSEC director of finance, Zipora Muzenda said:<\/p>\n

ZIMSEC has considered the issue of bank charges incurred in remitting examination fees for ZIMSEC and is accordingly advising that all bank charges will be borne by ZIMSEC.<\/p>\n

The examination fees paid should be less the bank charges incurred and should be supported by the bank statement reflecting the same.<\/p>\n

Therefore the amount payable plus the bank charges should tally with the amount payable on the statement of fees and centres should engage their bankers before the transaction is made.<\/p>\n

National Association of Secondary Schools Heads (NASH) president Arthur Maphosa, who is also the Gwanda High School school head, welcomed the move by ZIMSEC.<\/p>\n

He said schools were losing a lot of money in bank charges, money that would have gone towards development projects in schools.<\/p>\n
