The online platform (www.emap.co.zw) for enrolling Form One boarders for the 2023 First Term is already underway, a government official has said.
In an interview with H-Metro, Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education spokesperson, Taungana Ndoro, said parents will be able to make applications on the electronic platform from 1 November to 31 December. He said:
Parents or guardians who wish to send their children to boarding schools are advised to start applying through the e-platform with effect from November 1 up to 31 December 2022.
An applicant, who has been offered a place at one school, will not be eligible to apply or be considered for a place at any other school unless the offer is declined.
All applicants will be allowed to make a maximum of five active applications at any given time.
Successful applicants will be notified through short message service by the respective school heads.
Once you apply to a school, your application can show any one of the following statuses:
- Pending – application still under consideration
- Accepted – you have been offered a place.
- Processed – once a particular school has accepted your Child, all the other outstanding schools’ statuses will automatically be changed to processed.
- Rejected – your application was unsuccessful
Once you decline an offer, there is no guarantee that you will get the same offer back.
