Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) education secretary Dr Julius Witmos Mutumburanzou said he is delighted with the performance of RCZ run schools in the November 2021 Ordinary and Advanced level results.
Dr Mutumburanzou told TellZim News that he was particularly happy with the ‘O’ level results despite some of the schools not delivering their very best unlike with ‘A’ level results in which the schools did really well with the lowest getting 90 percent pass rate.
“We as the RCZ, are happy with the performance of the schools in the November 2021 ‘O’ level results especially Chibi and Pamushana High schools, although some schools failed to reach our bench mark.
“We are also delighted with the ‘A’ level results because the lowest schools scored 90 percent pass rate, which is a rare feat,” said Mutumburanzou.
He also added schools were quite outstanding despite the socio-economic hardships in the country, industrial actions not forgetting the Covid-19.
“RCZ schools were quite remarkable against the social-economic situations which are quite difficult and also the industrial elections apart from Covid-19,”said Mutumburanzou.
