Nine students in Harare got blocked from taking their ZIMSEC O-Level exam because the school decided their haircuts violated dress code rules. Education Minister Torerayi Moyo said the kids showed up for their Family and Religious Studies Paper 2 test but got turned away even after they fixed their hair and came back within half an hour. The exam board only gives a 15-minute window after the start time, and officials arrested both the headmaster and director for breaking education access rights.
Cabinet stepped in after hearing about the mess and told authorities to use a scoring system that averages out the top and bottom performers from that school to give the blocked students their grades. The arrested administrators are supposed to hit court soon. The students had already finished Paper 1 without any problems before this happened.
