flag Zimbabwe limits O-levels to 9 subjects and A-levels to 3 to reduce burnout and improve education quality.

flag Zimbabwe has capped O-level exams at nine subjects and A-levels at three principal subjects under its new Heritage-Based Curriculum, aiming to reduce burnout and improve learning quality. flag The policy follows public debate after a student scored 56 points across 12 A-level subjects in 2025, highlighting concerns over excessive workloads and inconsistent instruction. flag The ministry says the limit aligns with university entry standards and ensures consistency across schools, with stricter enforcement and full exam costs for extra subjects. flag Officials reject claims of grade inflation, attributing improved results to better teaching and student effort.
