It is no surprise that many people didn’t expect much from this year’s examination candidates given the tough circumstances they had to work under. However, what is surprising is the extraordinary results that were recorded this year regardless of the different Covid-19 induced challenges.
A Gweru form one student, Nokuthula Mazula (14), started off her high school years on a high note. She registered along with form four students to write her ZIMSEC O-Level English examinations. Bear in mind that she was only in form one and presumably three years behind other exam candidates in her education.
The pupil, who is a student at St Patricks sat for this English exam and came out with an A. Sources stated that her father, who is said to be the headmaster at the school, wanted to experiment and see whether form four level English could be done by a form one student. No doubt the whole nation now has an answer to that.
If you were thinking that this student aced her examinations by being anti-social and in her books all the time, apparently you’re wrong. Sources around her say the girl had time to play and have fun with friends just like the rest of her age mates.
The nation is certainly filled with pride when reports like this come out. In addition to this amazing report, the Cambridge global examinations board revealed that 4 Best in the World students for different subjects were in Zimbabwe. We covered the details on that one in a previous article you can find here.
