This private school is withholding CSEC results from its students

Aug 12, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
After a seemingly endless wait and months of apprehension, the CSEC results of students who sat the exams earlier this year have finally been released. And thanks to our technologically advancing society, students are finally able to access their results in a quick, efficient, and, mostly notably, convenient manner- online.
The process of receiving one’s CSEC results is now a significantly improved process. It reduces time consumption and stress for students. Certainly this accomplishment is commendable. Unfortunately, some educational institutions are prohibiting its students from taking advantage of this development, particularly one private school.
For some obscure and possibly farcical reason/s, the school is withholding the results of its students from the students themselves. In fact, the school has been guilty of this practice for years, ever since its establishment, in fact. Consequently, the latest batch of students are not able to access their CSEC results.
This reprehensible practice is, to say the least, an abhorrent infringement on the fundamental rights and privileges that all citizens of a democracy are entitled to, namely, the right to access to personal information, among others. These CSEC results are the property of the students, not the institution. In fact, it is common knowledge that the school is staffed by megalomaniacs and extortionists who vigorously control every facet of students’ lives.
To conclude, I would like to reaffirm my position as being strongly opposed to this school withholding the students’ CSEC results in this manner, and I call on them to grant students access to their results online. In addition, a public announcement of the results is extremely unnecessary. Also, the fallacy that stringent rules and academic excellence are not mutually exclusive should be dispelled by the administrators/ teachers of that institution as soon as possible.
Congratulations to all students who have written the CSEC exams this year. Your results are by no means testimony to your fullest capabilities. We all have the potential to do so much more. I would also wish the best of luck to the students of this private school who, obviously, have not received their results yet.
