The government said on Tuesday, Zimbabwe will reopen primary and secondary schools this month for students preparing to sit their final exams, six months after they were closed due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
The first students to return on 14 September will be those taking Cambridge International exams. Those taking locally administered final exams will go back two weeks later.
The government said, the ministry (of education) is working closely with other ministries and stakeholders to guarantee the safety of pupils and staff during the examinations period.
The education ministry had previously said it would give priority to pupils taking final exams and has hinted that other students will not return to school until 2021.
Authorities are also looking at reopening airports to support the tourism sector, the government said. The plan is to start with the resumption of domestic flights and then to restart international flights but did not give a date.
