The Guyana Society for the Blind’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) programme has recorded an overall pass rate of 95% this year, representing the best performance by students since it was started in 2014.
Five students wrote the examinations via the programme this year. Faith Greene emerged as the top performer, with a Grade 1, three Grade 3s and two Grade 2s. She was followed by Romel Narine, who secured a Grade 1, a Grade 2, and three Grade 3s; Omesh Jhagro, who secured two Grade 2s and three Grade 3s; Sachi Harricharan, who got passes in four of the five subjects which he wrote; and Robecka Edinboro, who passed two of the three subjects she wrote.
This was revealed at a press conference at the Guyana Society for the Blind on High Street yesterday.
