With 568 marks each, two boys, Anthony Ferreira, of Mae’s Under 12, and Aryan Singh, of the Dharmic Rama Krishna Primary, have tied as the top performers in this year’s National Grade Six Assessment.

An excited Ferreira told Stabroek News that he was overjoyed to be one of this year’s top performers. Though he expected to do well, he did not expect to be one of the best performing students and has expressed gratitude to his parents and teachers who worked with him throughout the years. “I am excited and I know I need to keep focused to achieve my goals. Today, I want to thank my parents and teachers and especially God, who was always with me. I also want to really thank my Math teacher, Sir Kareem Trotman, who went out of his way to make the subject interesting. I feel that Math is my best subject because he was very funny and did his best to make sure we would do well,” Ferreira, a budding technological engineer, said.
