Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Government has ordered schools that have charged formal candidates centre fees for Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) November examinations to reverse the transactions.<\/p>\n

This follows reports that some school heads were demanding between US$10 and US$25 as centre fees for formal examination candidates enrolled in their schools<\/p>\n

Some schools reportedly barred prospective ZIMSEC candidates from paying registration fees until they had paid the centre fees.<\/p>\n

Previously, centre fees were paid by external candidates while formal learners were exempted from paying that fee.<\/p>\n

Director of Communications and Advocacy in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, Taungana Ndoro said:<\/p>\n

We are not aware of that but we will be investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

Students in formal school are not to be charged that fee. It is illegal for schools to do that.<\/p>\n

Those that are doing so should stop while those that have done so already should reimburse the parents.<\/p>\n

Registration commenced on Friday with the fees in US dollar terms set at US$10 per subject for Grade 7, while it is US$11 per subject for O-level and A-level is at US$22 per subject.<\/p>\n

ZIMSEC announced that schools must use an exchange rate of ZWL$454.7 to US$1 when collecting the fees.<\/p>\n
