The top 100 Advanced Level learning institutions in Zimbabwe have scored between 93 and 100 percent pass rates in the 2014 examinations, signalling a 3 percent increase compared to 2013. According to statistics released by the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council, the number of schools that attained a 100 percent pass rate remained at 20 with Manicaland province's Saint Faith's dislodging Nyanga High School at the top, while the latter landed on second position.
MASVINGO province was the best with 7 schools that attained 100% pass rates at A-Level (St Anthony's, Hebron, Zaka High, Chinorumba Secondary, Chatikobo High,Tungwane Secondary and Mutimwi secondary. All the 10 best schools in the Masvingo province were amongst Zimbabwe's top 100 schools.
Second best province was MANICALAND whose best school, St Faith was also Zimbabwe's best school while Manicaland's second best school, Nyanga High also became Zimbabwe's second best. Number three in Manicaland which also attained 100% pass rate was St David Bonda and the fourth school to get 100 % pass rate in Manicaland was Mutare Girls High. Manicaland's 10th's best school, St Joseph was far much better than Matabeleland North's number 1 school, Mpopoma High.
Third best Province was MASHONALAND EAST whose two schools St Ignatius College and Mhari High School both attained a 100 % pass rate. What is also of interest to note is that all the 10 best schools in Mashonaland East Province were part of Zimbabwe's 100 best schools.
Fourth best province was MIDLANDS Province which also had two schools Shungu High School and Anderson Adventist High School that had 100% pass rates each. Out of the 10 best schools in Midlands, the first nine schools managed to make it into Zimbabwe's 100 best schools, while its 10th best, Methodist-run Pakame Secondary school in Shurungi was ranked Zimbabwe's 115th best.
Fifth best province in Zimbabwe was MATABELELAND SOUTH after Tongwe Gvt Rural school and Zezani Secondary schools achieved a 100% pass rate each. However only four of its schools managed to make it into the top 100.
Sixth best province was MASHONALAND CENTRAL province. Although it had only one school that attained a 100% pass rate, however all its 10 best schools were part of Zimbabwe's 100 best schools. Had another school from this province attained a 100% pass rate, it would have been ranked thirst best province in the country.
Seventh best province was MASHONALAND WEST which was led by another Methodist-run school, Sandringham High which got a 100% pass rate. Of the 10 best schools in Mashonaland West, only 2 , Ngezi Barracks and another Methodist-run Moleli High School failed to make it into Zimbabwe's top 100.
Eight best province was Zimbabwe's own Capital City, a stand-alone province, HARARE Province. The best school in Harare turned out to be Roosevelt Girls High which was the only school that got a shocking 100% pass rate. 5 of Harare's best schools however managed to make it into Zimbabwe's top 100 schools.
Ninth best province, or rather Zimbabwe's worst province was MATABELELAND NORTH province whose best school was Zimbabwe's number 63, Mpopoma High School which is Bulawayo. Zimsec, for some reason combined Matabeleland North and Bulawayo provinces into one province, but still the greater Matabeleland North province is the only province in Zimbabwe which failed to attain even a single 100% pass rate. Only two of its schools, Mpopoma High and Tshabanda Secondary school managed to make it into Zimbabwe's top 100.
