A new force in the education system is putting our children first
DEAR EDITOR,
I write to congratulate all of the children who did so well at this year’s grade six assessment examinations.
I have observed in the news media all of the joy and excitement – especially as there was a perfect score by a young lady, who deserves credit for that achievement.
All that being said, the top students and parents will always be given the praise that they deserve.
However, I would like to point out that there is a reason for this rise in academic achievement across the board.
To the parents and guardians that worked very hard with our children, thank you and keep working hard. Also, our teachers need to be recognized for all of the hard work that they are doing in the classrooms. They have raised their game and it is reflected in these results. There seems to be a new force in the education system that is putting all of our children first. The barriers have been lifted, allowing talent to shine. I am so glad to see this.
I must also commend the work that the Minister of Education is doing. Her policies and direction are cutting through with tangible results. I encourage Minister Henry and the Ministry of Education to continue the great work, because our children deserve a good education, something that has been ignored until recently. I am glad to see that Guyana’s education system is getting back on track and look forward to seeing the CXC/CSEC results later this year.
Congratulations to all Grade Six Assessment students, their teachers and parents.
Yours Sincerely,
Elizabeth Williams
