She further related that the government implemented specific initiatives to prepare children for the exams such as a consolidated curriculum and two mock examinations.
Worksheets and quizzes were also prepared for pupils. The exams end on Thursday.
“We are confident that we are not going to be seeing see some of the results that some of our sister CARICOM countries have been bawling about recently,” Manickchand said.
Trinidad and Tobago recorded a significant decline in students’ performance in the country’s primary exit exams – Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) – this year.
As such, Trinidad’s Minister of Education Dr. Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said there will be no announcement of top-ranking performances and schools. The poor performance is due to learning loss resulting from the lack of face-to-face classes, Trinidad Express reported.
In Guyana, the education ministry launched a programme known as “Operation Recovery” where stakeholders have been attempting to help return children to schools.
This programme will be intensified from September when faith-based and non-governmental organsiations will assist the ministry in getting children back into schools.
