Harare — GOVERNMENT urgently needs about US$3,1 million to complete the marking of last year’s public examinations, Education Sports and Culture Minister David Coltart, revealed this week.
Coltart described government’s failure to produce last year’s Grade Seven, Ordinary and Advanced Levels examination results as a national tragedy.
“I am concerned about these school children as they are being prejudiced of their right. It’s a national tragedy and personal tragedy. I am working as hard as I can so that I can have this exercise completed,” he told The Financial Gazette yesterday.
The delays in releasing the results led to the enrolling of Form Four and Lower Sixth students using last year’s mid year exams.
