Seventeen-year-old Parmesh Ramgobin of Charity is one of Region Two’s top performers at the recent Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate examinations.

He obtained 15 grade ones and 5 grade twos at one sitting of the CXC exams at the Anna Regina Multilateral School.  

His sacrifices leading up to the examinations were remarkable. During an exclusive interview with Stabroek News, Ramgobin said that there were numerous struggles and challenges he faced during his studies. He said that due to the fact he lives almost at the end of the Coast and the Anna Regina School is located in the town it was really expensive for him to travel.
