At a recent outreach programme in Buxton, Education Minister Dr Rupert Roopnaraine said he intends to discard parts of the National Grade Six Assessment process.
A release from GINA reported the minister as saying “The accumulation of points at Grades Two and Four, I’m looking to eliminate…it shouldn’t be”.
He said that the scores earned at those exams are there to serve only as a guide to teachers, so they have a fair idea of the areas they need to focus with the students.
The release noted that the Education Ministry has embarked on a number of outreach programmes aimed at developing a sound education policy that will cut across all regions, communities, and socio-economic standing.
