The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has ordered nine Ordinary Level Chiredzi students accused of cheating to return their results slips after they were released by mistake.
ZIMSEC spokesperson Nicky Dhlamini said the exams body wrote to Chingele Secondary School head on December 12, 2019, informing him that the nine candidates’ results had been cancelled. Said Dhlamini:
Provisional results for candidates from Chingele were deployed to the school on February 12, 2020.
The nine candidates were given their results by an administrator who had not been informed of the situation.
As of now, the nine candidates have been asked to return their provisional slips as they await the confirmed result slips which show that their results have been cancelled.
Reports claim that four teachers at the school wrote examinations for their wives and girlfriends during last November’s Ordinary Level public examinations.
ZIMSEC recommended the suspension of the four teachers implicated in the exam fraud.
