Minister of Education Priya Manickchand underscored the importance of education and urged parents to become more involved in their children’s lives, when she met the top ten candidates who sat the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) in Region Five.
At the meeting, held last week at the Karamat Primary School, Mahaicony Creek, Region Five, the minister said government was pleased to see that students from all ten regions had been named among the country’s top achievers. “We are very pleased that we did not see top students only coming from central Georgetown or from a concentrated area from the country. We have every single region securing a place in the top 100 positions in the country,” Minister Manickchand said,
