A whirlwind blew a Grade 7 learner’s ZIMSEC Mathematics answer sheet through a classroom window at Rujeko Primary School in Masvingo.

Zimbabwe will make indigenous-language teaching compulsory from ECD to Grade 7 from 2027, with the policy also affecting private and Cambridge schools.

A classroom named after Andrew Makahamadze at Green Diamond School has become a symbol of community investment after he followed the honour with upgrades to the facility.

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has dismissed speculation surrounding a leaked internal document on the possible renaming of schools in Harare’s Mbare/Hatfield District, saying no decisions have been made. Ministry spokesperson Taungana Ndoro said the document circulating online is part of an early-stage consultation process and should not be interpreted as policy.
