President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced the re-opening of schools and colleges for public examination classes and final year students respectively in his Covid-19 national address at State House, Saturday.
Announcing an indefinite extension of an already seven week-long lockdown, Mnangagwa said plans were underway to re-open the education sector.
"Public exam classes within schools and final-year students at colleges and universities must be allowed to continue recognising, however, the stipulated Covid-19 prevention measures.
"Meanwhile, clear plans of the phased re-opening of schools continue to be put in place," said Mnangagwa.
Some schools and colleges had already started online classes for students.
