…walk into exams with confidence, walk out with pride – Education Minister to students
Thousands of students across Guyana will today begin writing the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) exams.
According to Education Minister Priya Manickchand, approximately 10,000 candidates would sit the English A Paper 2 exam on Monday, one of the largest assessments on the CSEC timetable. This will be followed by the mathematics exam on Friday.
Recognising the significance of this period, Manickchand has commended the dedication and preparation of students, teachers, and parents alike.
“We at the Ministry of Education recognize the tremendous effort that has gone into preparing for these exams by both parents and educators, who have supported our children along the way,” the minister said in a statement on Wednesday.
On behalf of the MoE, she has extended best wishes to all students writing exams in the coming weeks; and has highlighted the importance of community involvement as she called on families and guardians to continue their support by ensuring students are well-rested, properly fed, punctual, and emotionally ready.
“Your hard work and resilience have brought you to this point, and we are confident that you will make yourselves, your families and your schools proud,” Minister Manickchand has said.
“May every student walk into their exams with confidence and walk out with pride,” she said.
