Ministry Explains Why Grade 7 Pupils Should Continue Attending Classes After Final Exams

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education says Grade Grade 7 learners should continue attending school until the end of the term for social protection.

Grade 7 learners finished writing their Zimbabwe School Examination Council (ZIMSEC) examinations on Monday, almost two months before the end of the third term.

Ministry spokesperson Taungana Ndoro said keeping the learners in school will prevent them from engaging in wayward behaviour. He said:

The school system protects them from sexual, physical and emotional abuse. Being at school prevents them from loafing around in the townships where they end up engaging in wayward behaviour.

He said Grade 7 pupils should use the period after writing examinations for educational tours as well as to learn how to transition to the secondary level. Said Ndoro:

It is the time when they would go on educational tours to places like Victoria Falls, Kariba and the like since it has thematic links to other learning areas across the curriculum.

In a memorandum dated 11 October 2022, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education instructed District Schools Inspectors to remind primary school heads that Grade 7 learners should continue to attend classes. Reads the memo:

District Schools Inspectors, kindly remind your Heads of Schools (Primary) that Grade 7 pupils are to continue to attend school as they will now be doing the Life Orientation Programme (LOP).
Request your schools to submit timetable for Life Orientation Programme, at the same time submit attendance statistics daily.

Meanwhile, Ndoro added that parents and guardians also paid fees for the whole term, so stopping children from going to school would be short-changing them. | The Herald

If they wanted to protect them , they were not supposed to let them seat for exams too early .Thus , it is an undiputable fact that no learner will attend school period .

So why rush them write final exams? Vakuda kukuvadziaa vana nema general work manje.

For life orientation leave it to the parents and churches. Our shuldrens spent almost the whole term not being taught as teacher were concerned about their grievances with their ministry, who cared about their idling. Now they have finished sitting for their exams, you suddenly start caring. Something sinister...

Ndoro your suggestions are unrealistic in this crumbled economy of Zimbabwe. Do you know the cost of preparing these G7 breafast & transport to the xool & pocket monie ? Its a relief to us starving parents that they have just completed there primary course. Failed MOPSE.

Home 🏡 is the best place where children get social protection and life orientation, so if they have finished their exams what else should they wait for? Visits should be for those who can afford. We need quality time with our shuldrens, they also need to visit relatives and that is the opportune time After swotting so much they need to relax their minds in the comfort of their kins away from the maddening crowd

It may be a noble idea to 'keep' these pupils at the school premises until schools close the term but who will look after them since the majority of the teachers would have gone to the exercise of marking of the exams. This applies more pressure on those teachers who are still teaching and preparing exams for those who are yet to sit for their end of year exams. Holidays are coming as well, who will monitor the pupils, so I think it is not a valid reason coming from the ministry.
