A 14-year-old girl who wrote 10 subjects at O-Level while she was in Form 2 last year obtained four As, five Bs, and a C.
Anashe Masango enrolled for Form 1 at Chinhoyi High School in 2021, before moving to Tried and Tested Academy the same year before finally settling at Alaska High School where she sat for her ZIMSEC O’ Level examinations in 2022.
Speaking to H-Metro, Anashe said her parents are struggling to raise money so that she can enroll for Lower Six this year.
Anashe is now appealing for assistance from well-wishers. She said:
My parents are struggling to raise money for me to proceed to A-Levels and I am appealing for assistance. I promise I will not disappoint.
Anashe said one of her teachers encouraged her to register for O-Level exams over fears that another wave of COVID-19 would result in an indefinite closure of schools. She said:
One of my teachers, who was helping me with extra lessons, encouraged me to sit for O-Level exams while doing Form 2.
I moved from one place to another during the lockdown, and I shared that with my teacher.
She encouraged me to complete the syllabus, saying one of her children managed to sit for the same level and passed.
COVID-19 affected schooling and I needed a way of dealing with it, just in case there was another wave and further lockdowns.

Anashe did her primary education at Vainona Primary School and came out with English 1, Mathematics 1, Shona 2, Agriculture 1, and General Paper 1 in her Grade 7 exams.
