Questions schools ask
Before you try it
Does it grade O level the ZIMSEC way?
Yes. Form 1 to 4 are graded A to E and U, the way ZIMSEC reports them, with boundaries your school can set.
Does it count A level points?
Yes. Form 5 and 6 are graded A to F, and the points over the best three subjects are worked out, out of 15.
Can fees be in US dollars?
Yes. Statements and receipts are in the currency most schools charge in.
Does it keep ZIMSEC numbers?
Yes, the ZIMSEC candidate number once a learner is registered, with every province and district.
Does it need the internet?
No. Msingi runs on the school’s own computer. The internet is only needed for updates, off-site backups and the optional cloud version.
