Gweru-based Anderson Adventist High School has once again shown how best the school positions itself as a centre of academic excellence as it basks in glory of landing the Education Secretary Merit Award.
The school on January 26 also revealed how it takes pride in upholding a decade of academic excellence.
Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Permanent Secretary Tumisang Thabela applauded the school for scooping another accolade.
“It is noteworthy that this school is being awarded the Secretary’s Bell for the third time.
“This demonstrates the school’s commitment towards academic excellence with the head teacher also being awarded the accolade for the second time. It shows he is indeed a champion head,” said Thabela.
Narrating the school’s 2022 Advanced level success story, school head Caxton Mukasvanga said the institution’s ability to select learners and linking them to their studying areas of strength had been the secret behind production of quality results.
“For almost a decade now, the school has maintained a 100 percent pass rate at “’A’ level.
“The excellent performance of the school has been through the ability by school teachers to identify learners’ talents at form 1 and 2 levels so that at form 3, they choose areas they are passionate at leading to career pathways like arts, commercials or sciences.
“This is done with skills of performing tasks such that learners are placed into subject areas in which they have a higher acumen, interest and passion for,” said Mukasvanga.
