He said a total of 270 121 candidates sat for the exams in November, a 3.1% drop from the previous year’s figures.

Mwenje also revealed that the overall pass rate for 2023 is 29.41%, up from the 28.96% recorded in 2022.

“A total of 270 129 candidates sat for the November 2023 examinations as compared to 278 760 candidates who sat for the same examinations in 2022. The candidature decreased by 8 631, translating to a percentage decrease of 3.1.

The November 2023 results show that the percentage pass rate for female candidates was at 30.1 while that of males was at 29.06.

These percentage pass rates increased by 5.03 and 3.9 respectively in favour of the girl child. The statistics show that the 2023 the overall pass rate increased by 4.35% from that of 2022.”

It is, however, important to note that ZIMSEC said the overall pass rate for 2023 increased by 4.35% from that of 2022.

The assertion is erroneous because the 2022 O’ Level pass rate was 28.96 per cent. This means that the 2023 overall pass rate, which ZIMSEC has said was 29.41%, increased by a paltry 0.45% and not the 4.35% announced by the examinations management body.
