Zimbabwe dropped exam scores for nearly 400,000 seventh graders, and the national pass rate slipped to 48.49 percent from last year's 49.01 percent. About 189,000 kids cleared all six subjects out of the 390,000 who sat for tests. Girls absolutely crushed it with a 53.64 percent pass rate compared to boys hitting just 43.06 percent.
Students with special needs had a solid year, with their pass rate jumping from 37.19 percent to 43.91 percent, and the number of special needs candidates taking exams surged by almost 16 percent. Results went live online for a four-day window before students had to grab physical copies from their schools.
