The Zimbabwe Schools Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has maintained the 2022 Grade Seven examination fees.
Parents and guardians will pay US$29 for all subjects while Government subsidizes the fees with US$36 for the US$65 fees.
The amount should be paid in either foreign or local currency based on the prevailing interbank rate on 03 March 2023. ZIMSEC said in a statement:
Please be advised that the examination fees for 2023 is US$65 for all subjects.
Government will contribute US$36 for candidates in public schools while parents and guardians will pay US$29.
Candidates from private schools and colleges will pay the full cost of US$65 as examination fees for the year.
ZIMSEC spokesperson Nicky Dlamini said the termly figure will be US$10 but parents can pay the whole amount which is US$29 between 3 March and 10 March. Said Dlamini:
We are basically using the same fees structure as that of last year. If a parent or guardian wants to pay the whole amount once, they will fork out US$29, between March 3 and March 10.
If one decides to pay in installments, one will pay US$10 per term.
