The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has officially released the 2024 Advanced Level results. While this marks a significant milestone for candidates, the process of accessing results online has proven challenging, with the ZIMSEC website, www.zimsec.co.zw, experiencing downtime at the time of writing. This is likely due to high traffic as thousands of students and guardians attempt to check results simultaneously.
2024 A-Level Results Overview
A total of 33,575 candidates sat for the examinations this year, with 31,443 students achieving a grade E or better. This equates to an impressive pass rate of 94.58%, a testament to the resilience of both students and educators in Zimbabwe.
Candidates have two options for accessing their results:
- Online via the ZIMSEC results portal.

The online portal will remain open for only five days, so candidates are advised to act quickly.

A Step Forward for Zimbabwean Education
This digital system marks a significant step forward in modernizing Zimbabwe’s education sector. Not long ago, parents endured lengthy waits for physical result slips to arrive at schools, followed by time-consuming trips to collect them. Today, results can be accessed from the comfort of home, reducing stress and increasing accessibility.
That said, the online experience is not without its flaws. The website’s downtime during high traffic and occasional confusing error messages highlight areas for improvement.
Despite these challenges, ZIMSEC’s commitment to embracing technology aligns with global education standards, demonstrating a drive to enhance user convenience and efficiency.
