Government is moving away from universal ZIMSEC examination fee subsidies, with support set to target vulnerable learners under a phased implementation starting in 2027.
From 2028, only pupils under the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) will continue to benefit from the subsidy.
The changes raise questions about access to national examinations and the financial burden on households no longer covered by Government support.
Who stands to be affected by the new subsidy framework? Share your thoughts.
Zimbabwe is landlocked. So are Malawi, Zambia and Botswana.
So why does our data still cost so much?

Hon Zhemu : Under the phased review of the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council Examination Fee Subsidy Framework and Examination Financing Model, pupils in primary and secondary schools located in rural areas (P3 and S3); satellite schools; and those under the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) will benefit in 2027; while only those under BEAM will continue to be supported in 2028.
Hon Zhemu : The nation is being informed that His Excellency President E.D. Mnangagwa held a meeting with Zimbabwean students studying in the Russian Federation. He urged the students to pursue academic
excellence, acquire practical skills and apply their knowledge to Zimbabwe’s scientific, technological and development needs.
The Defence Minister says there is a funding gap in Zimbabwe’s military.
Could this put national security at risk?
