The Zimbabwe Teachers Association (ZIMTA) has urged the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) to postpone examination registration as a way of protecting headteachers from contracting coronavirus as they are obliged to travel long distances during the process.
ZIMTA secretary-general Tapson Sibanda appealed to ZIMSEC to suspend the registration process for now and continue after the COVID-19 pandemic has been eradicated. Said Sibanda:
Our appeal to Zimsec is that they should postpone the deadlines for examination registration.
