HEREThe population of private candidates shows how most Zimbabweans still value education. Many external candidates register to sit for O Level Mathematics, English Language and Integrated Science (Now Combined Science ).
However only 12 to 14% of external candidates fail the Exam according to recent Zimsec Exam Statistics and this is attributed to
- many don't attend lessons to cover the syllabus
- majority are working class and they can't afford time to read or practice for an Exam.
- some work in foreign countries and there are no schools or teachers that teach Zimsec syllabus
- they can't find qualified tutors /teachers for the subject.
With technology one can learn all principles of the syllabus online through video lessons and PDF study guides. Some professional teachers are now creating step by step video lessons that cover syllabi to fill this gap.
Because many learners nowadays use social media like Facebook and most popular messengers like WhatsApp, Telegram and WeChat, it can be a convenient way to offer services through these platforms.
From a pilot project carried out in 2017, 51 candidates were learning through videos shared on WhatsApp and 41 of the learners scored C or better in November 2017 exams. You can watch some of these quality videos on this YouTube Channel and also request these step by step lessons by filling this form HERE
