GUTU – Dewure High School, run by the Church of Christ in Gutu, has recorded outstanding results in the 2025 Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC), attaining a 90.1% Ordinary Level pass rate while maintaining a 100% pass rate at Advanced Level, highlighting its growing reputation as a centre of academic excellence.
The Ordinary Level performance marked a steady rise from 80% in 2022, 79.3% in 2023 and 82% in 2024.
Although the school had targeted 85%, the school head, Tephinas Mangono, said she was pleased that the final outcome surpassed expectations.
“We are grateful and encouraged by this result. We had hoped for 85%, but achieving 90.1% in the 2025 ZIMSEC examinations shows the commitment of both our learners and staff,” she said.
Out of 162 Ordinary Level candidates, 38 learners scored five As and above, with two learners recording a clean sweep of 10 As.
Several others attained between five and eight As reflecting strong overall performance.
At Advanced Level, Dewure High School sustained its tradition of excellence after all 93 candidates passed, continuing the 100% pass rate achieved in 2024.
Of these, 24 learners scored 15 points and above, while 77 had 10 points and above.
Beyond academics, the school runs projects in piggery, poultry, gardening and cattle farming, which support learner welfare, benefit the surrounding community and provide hands-on learning opportunities.
