Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Dr Lazarus Dokora introduced a New Education Curriculum for Ordinary Level. The number of compulsory subjects has been set at 7 and the standard number of subjects has been set at 10. The new curriculum also sets a maximum of 2 more subjects for those who wished to pursue more. Meaning that the maximum number of subjects is 12.
According to the new curriculum, the 7 compulsory subjects are:
- Agriculture
- Physical Education and Sport and Mass Display
- General Science
- Mathematics
- Indigenous Languages
- English Language
- Heritage Studies
After these 7 compulsory languages, students will be allowed to choose three more elective subjects. Those students who wish to increase the number of subjects will be allowed to add an additional 2 subjects, meaning they will be choosing 5 subjects.
The Elective Subjects are:
- Computer Science
- Geography
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
- Additional Mathematics
- Pure Mathematics
- Statistics
- History
- Sociology
- Economic History
- Family and Religious Studies.
The other elective subjects are:
- Business and Enterprise Skills
- Commerce
- Commercial Studies
- Economics
- Principles of Accounts
- Building Technology and Design Forms,
- Design and Technology
- Food Technology
- Metal Technology and Design
- Home Management and Design
- Technical Graphics and Design
- Textile Technology and Design
- Wood Technology and Design
- Art
- Dance
- Musical and theatre
The new curriculum came into full effect this term, with emphasis being put on strengthening Mathematics, Science, Technology, Vocational studies, Humanities and Heritage studies that would be made compulsory at all level.
Good day! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this
post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this.
I will forward this page to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read.
Thank you for sharing!
do i have to return to form 3, if i don’t have either ‘O level’ maths or English
The new curriculum is working
new curriculum is absolutely rubbish
yes
Yes p
importance of new curriculum
Why making noise about vocational education when only agriculture is included among the core subjects and the rest are under elective subjects. Remember these subjects were labeled as fit for the less able students academically. How will students appreciate vocational education if it’s made to be optional
generally vacations are needed for a candidate

the new curriculum forces students to research and read more harder to achieve better results
old curriculum is far much better & preferable
this new cir iz best for well developed countries (not Zimbabw)& financialy stable parents ..who can afford gadgets & data bundles for researchers ..

the new curriculum is very costly and not fair we must not be forced to do those tasks and projects some of us want to write the old curriculum which was suppose to expire on 2020
it must go it must go Dokora you don’t think not every one has money to do all that like your kids

tinokumbira kuti Zimsec itibvisire matasks nemaprojects coz hapana ari kunyatsozvinzwisisa
the new curriculum is not fair to those who leave in the villages because some come from poor backgrounds they cant afford the money to buy flat files and also phones or laptops to do the research
honestly, the new curriculum is not making perfect sense. We’re spending alot of time doing these tasks and projects. We hardly get time to read right now because we will be trying to beat the school deadline. Tasks and projects came late as well. I think ZImsec should consider going back to the old ways. Did they ever put the children in rural areas into consideration because even for us who stay in urban areas also face difficulties trying to access internet services. Th new curriculum should be for the more economically developed countries, it wont hurt to keep it very simple and straight forward. Most of our teachers do not even know how to do most of the required tasks. Not even sample examination papers we sent. It is just so unfair
Will tasks come this term coz last term tasks are not even collected
The issue of projects , what is the final say
YAAH they should do something about this issue coz eish zvinhu zvatiwandira isu
Gyz is it possible for me to write maths and English of the old curriculum as a private candidate in November 2018?Also is it allowed to register only the two subjects or else we l gat go back to form 3 ?
pasi ne new curriculum
this is an unshakable fact!!!!!!!!
I tink è new curriculum is good in terms of everytn bt panyaya yamatasks chte apa n projects nopakaipa especially 4 us maform 4 ..we didn’t have tym
This new curriculum it’s not worthful.. kana vaida kungo introducer macomputers it was fine kumwe kwese uko ngavasiye zvaivepo..
re-review the whole new curriculum to reduce overloading of learners
It is a good idea
NEW CURRICULUM IS NOT EVEN BAD MY FELLOW ZIMBABWEANS,ITS A GOOD IDEA
they are so nice but how can we get them online
