Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 85075, member: 27"] No surprise bill this time, ZIMSEC blinked, kept exam fees flat for 2026, and quietly told June rewrite candidates to pay the full tab. What ZIMSEC just confirmed [LIST] [*]Zimbabwe School Examinations Council locked in 2026 fees at the same levels as recent years. [*]This applies across Government schools, private schools, and colleges. [*]The update landed as prep for the 2026 exam cycle ramps up. [/LIST] Who made it official [LIST] [*]ZIMSEC public relations manager Nicky Dhlamini put it on record. [*]Parents and guardians were told, straight up, nothing went up. [/LIST] Ordinary and Advanced Level numbers [LIST] [*]Ordinary Level sits at US$24 per subject. [*]Advanced Level comes in at US$48 per subject. [*]Those figures reflect the usual Government support calculation. [/LIST] The June exam catch-up [LIST] [*]June sittings are treated differently. [*]These exams are mainly for rewrites or subject top-ups. [*]Because candidates already benefited before, the subsidy does not apply here. [*]June candidates pay the full amount, no discount on energy. [/LIST] Grade 7 fees breakdown [LIST] [*]Government, council, and not-for-profit mission schools charge US$5 per term. [*]Private schools and colleges charge US$11. [*]Same structure as before, no remix. [/LIST] What parents are being told [LIST] [*]ZIMSEC wants families and schools to read the fee list carefully. [*]Early planning is the goal, with fewer last-minute shocks. [*]Registration should move more smoothly if everyone sticks to the published figures. [/LIST] The takeaway vibe [LIST] [*]Fees staying flat is the rare calm headline. [*]June candidates still feel the pinch. [*]For everyone else, 2026 exams come with familiar price tags.
