Primary Supplementary Exams to be done earlier, says Hon. Walwyn
This announcement was made by Minister for Education and Culture Hon. Myron Walwyn following a request made by Principal Marietta Flax-Headley at the Althea Scatliffe Primary School graduation held yesterday July 4, 2012 at the Sir Rupert Briercliffe Hall.
While delivering the Principal’s Speech at the graduation, Principal Headley directed a comment to the Minister requesting that the Primary 5 Supplementary Exams be tested earlier to ensure that passing students can participate in their graduation.
“I would like to thank the Ministry and the Department of Education for providing the students who had D’s in their exams, the opportunity to do Supplementary Exams. However, I do believe the courtesy that is afforded to the secondary students of doing their Supplementary exams early so that they can participate in their graduation exercises, should also be extended to primary five students.”
This year 105 students sat the Primary 5 exams at the Althea Scatliffe Primary School with 94 students passing. Eleven students are scheduled to sit the supplementary exams.
In assurance, Hon. Walwyn, told Ms. Headley that prior to the graduation and her statement regarding the time the supplementary exams are given to the Primary 5 students, “directions have already been given to the acting Chief Education Officer to make sure that the supplementary exams are done earlier for the students who sit the primary five exams next year.”
