O-Level Pass Rate Falls In June 2026 Exams As A-Level Results Improve

Zimbabwe's June 2026 O-Level pass rate fell while A-Level results improved, according to iHarare News. The mixed results reveal disparities in the education system, with lower secondary performance declining. The friction: the government's education reforms face scrutiny as O-Level outcomes worsen, potentially affecting workforce readiness. The core vulnerability: declining O-Level pass rates could exacerbate skills shortages in an already struggling economy, limiting the pool of qualified candidates for tertiary education and skilled employment.
