Anglican schools in Manicaland just went absolutely nuclear on Zimbabwe's exam season. First Class College in Mutare dominated the rankings with 50 students scoring 15 points or higher, while St Augustine grabbed second place with 49 top performers. St David's Bonda Girls High landed third with 47 students hitting the 15-point threshold.
The province made history after 714 students reached 15 points or better, marking the first time those numbers hit that level since Independence. Luck Basopo, who runs education services for Manicaland, said teachers deserved credit for the achievement, and he thanked Richard Gabaza, the chief director handling provincial education services.
St Faith managed 27 students who scored 15 points or higher. Bishop Eric Ruwona from the Anglican Diocese of Manicaland said St Augustine reclaimed its dominant position in the education sector, while St David's Bonda Girls proved the girl child shouldn't be underestimated.
The exam session saw 36,635 candidates sit for their Advanced Level tests compared with 33,585 in the previous cycle, representing a 9.08 percent jump. The pass rate climbed to 95.75 percent after 34,740 candidates earned Grade E or better on at least two subjects out of 36,282 who wrote multiple exams.
