Results lookin’ better, but don’t pop champagne yet!
Kaieteur News – Dem Grade Six results come out and like de Education Ministry light one big firecracker! Pass rate jump from 49% to 63% and dem boys hear some people in Brickdam already poppin’ champagne like Guyana win de World Cup.
Dem boys seh big up to de children who pass! Some of dem work hard, some of dem pray hard, and some of dem still cyah believe dem actually pass Math.
But hear nah, if I was de Minister of Education, I woulda tek off meh party hat and put on meh thinking cap. Because 63% overall pass rate might sound nice, but when 37% of dem pickney still cyah get 50%, something still wrong in de kitchen. You can’t be baking cake and calling it sweet when more than one-third still taste like sawdust.
Dem boys seh we also got to ask: who set this year paper? Was it de same difficulty like last year? Or dem tek out de hard questions and put in some like “what colour is de sun?” and “how many legs a dog got?” Yuh cyaah use soft questions to judge hard problems.
And you ever hear about judging progress in one year? Education is not instant noodles. It tek time to boil, soak, and season properly. So yes, numbers lookin’ better—but wait two more years and if de upward trend continue, then we could really start to dance.
Till then, dem boys seh: clap for de pickney dem who shine, hug dem who try, and check pon de ones who still in de dark. Because bright future don’t come from big numbers alone—it come from real learning. And yuh notice how dem private schools outshine de public schools again. Dat shows dat de public school system still need a great deal of improvement.
So Ministry, keep yuh head on yuh shoulder. Stop moonwalkin’ like Michael Jackson just yet. Hold strain and keep dem exams standard. Then we gon know if we climbing real stairs or just jumping trampoline.
Talk half. Leff half.
