30th August – Exam Classes Return!

Quite recently, schools in Zimbabwe were informed that they would be re-opening on Monday, 30th August, after an extended break. This would be for Exam classes first – Form 4 and Grade 7 for the two Pakati schools – followed by all other students one week later, on 6th September.

Students arrive at Pakati Secondary school, waiting for the screening process as part of Covid 19 protocols. 

The Covid 19 situation in Zimbabwe appears to be improving, with reports of an upsurge in demamd for vaccinations.

It was good to see lessons re-starting at Pakati Secondary, especially as these Form 4 students are so close to writing their exams in a few weeks time.

Staff at the school are also following Covid 19 protocols. Below are teachers Mrs Mwaashidzana and Mrs Munatswa.

I would like to thank Mrs Munatswa for the photographs and the information.
