Concern grows over Zimbabwean learners withdrawn from SA schools

# The Zimbabwe Exemption Permit Coordinating Committee says thousands of Zimbabwean learners are being withdrawn from South African schools due to deportations, raising concerns about their education continuity. The committee warns matric and senior grade learners face major curriculum barriers if relocated mid-study. It has proposed that affected learners continue with the South African curriculum and assessment policy statement curriculum in Zimbabwe. The group plans to escalate the matter to both governments.
