Heritage-based curriculum learners face first exams

Learners taught under Zimbabwe's new heritage-based curriculum will sit their first public examinations starting in mid-October, marking a major milestone for the education system. The exams test the first cohort taught under the reformed curriculum in primary and secondary schools across the country. The government introduced the heritage-based curriculum to integrate local culture, history, and values into the school system. The examinations will assess students across various subjects taught under this framework, including languages, sciences, humanities, and vocational subjects. Education officials are preparing for the first cohort to take the national tests set to begin in mid-October, with results providing initial feedback on the curriculum's effectiveness.
