Zimbabwe’s Tertiary Education Decision Platform

Every year more than 300,000 Zimbabweans sit their O Levels, and more than 35,000 sit A Levels. A few months later each of them faces a decision that shapes the next forty years, with almost nothing to go on. The student with four A grades has options nobody has laid out for them. The student without Maths has been told they have no options, which is not true either. Both get the same thing instead: a prospectus here, a rumour there, an uncle who knows someone at a college. Study options are scattered across PDFs nobody has updated in years. Anything they leave out is a phone call away, if the phone is answered.

School Seeker exists to close that gap. We are an edtech platform built by people working across education, technology and data, on a single principle: the information you need to choose your education should be public, free, and the same for everyone who looks for it. Today that means 90 institutions and 3,391 programmes in one place, with what it actually takes to get into each. Tell us your results, your budget and what you actually enjoy, and we show you the programmes that fit, not the ones you happened to hear about.

Multiply that by a generation and a bigger picture appears: what Zimbabwe’s young people are trying to study, set against where the economy actually needs them. Nobody has that view today. With it, skills gaps surface years earlier, and fewer people spend a career in work they never chose.
