The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has extended the registration period for November 2020 Ordinary and Advanced Level examinations to October 2.

In a circular to examination centre heads, ZIMSEC director Lazarus Nembaware said all the usual registration formalities should be fully observed. The circular reads in part:

ZIMSEC would like to advise all Examinations Centre that registration for the 2020 ZGCE Ordinary and Advanced Level Examinations has been extended to 20 October 2020.

Heads of Examination should communicate this extension of registration to all prospective candidates in their communities.

All regulations relating to the submission of entries should be followed to the letter.

The extension comes at a time the government has announced that examination classes will reopen on September 28th, with exams commencing on December 1st.

Registration for the 2020 examinations was supposed to have closed between March and April this year, however, the processes were halted when schools closed following the coronavirus outbreak.
