The Zimbabwean government has directed that all learners, including those currently following the Cambridge curriculum, will sit national examinations under the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council by 2027, in a major policy shift aimed at standardising the country’s education system. The directive, clarified on May 5, 2026, affects current Form 3 and Lower 6 learners on the Cambridge pathway, who will now transition to ZIMSEC examinations at their final stage.
