The academic calendar has been affected, in that the period that the learning process would normally take
has now been reduced due to lockdowns.

Now, with these imposed lockdowns, the conditions and quality of local learning had deteriorated across
the nation. Even the release of results by the ZIMSEC Board has also been affected due to late final-exams
finishing dates. Upon realizing all this, a meeting has been called up, involving all the ZIMSEC Senate with
the sole intention of addressing the negative effects of such times.

The Meeting Discussed that:

 A field research is supposed to be conducted individually by all the learners on the solutions that
can be put in place to address the above stated matter.
 A report is supposed to be presented before the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education,
