MASVINGO – A grade six pupil at Victoria Government Primary School will have to skip grade seven after he sat for the 2022 grade seven examinations and scored 9 units.
Noah Junior Marima, son to prominent businessman of the Junior Brand Noah Marima, scored straight ones in Maths, Shona, Social Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and Tech, 2 units in English then three units in Physical Education and Arts.
Marima (Senior) said he was proud of his son’s achievement and said he will support him in whatever he chose to be in life.
He said Junior was a very cool and determined boy who always strive for the best results saying he didn’t doubt him when he decided to sit for the exams.
“I am ecstatic about the results. Junior is a determined young man who always wants to achieve the best in whatever he does. We will support him in whatever way and studies he chooses,” said Marima.
Marima said Junior follows in his footsteps as he is also result oriented though he said his son wants to pursue Engineering studies at tertiary level.
“I am his inspiration as I am also result oriented and I have seen that he copies a lot from me. However, he may differ in that he wants to do engineering and we will support him as we have always been doing,” said Marima.
The school head Lameck Mashuro said he was thrilled by the results saying they show unity on the part of staff.
“The results are a result of team spirit on the part of our staff who have a ‘catch them young’ mentality. It’s also a reflection of hard work on by the pupils,” Mashuro
He said Junior had showed academic prowess saying the school wished him all the best.
“The learner proved to be a genius in academia. We wish he continues like that and we will be there to support him,” Marusho said.
