“The extended registration periods will accommodate candidates who failed to meet the deadline for the November examinations and candidates who wish to add or delete subjects from their initial registration, candidates who partially registered, but failed to remit examination fees and wish to top up their examination fees,” Mwenje said.
He said measures to contain the COVID-19 would be observed and examination material from Zimsec would be delivered while observing the mitigatory measures to curb the spread of coronavirus.
