When it comes to academics, Guyana continues to be a topper within CARICOM, and even amid a global pandemic, this year is no different.
Director of Operations at the CXC, Dr. Nicole Manning, said Guyana’s performance at this year’s CAPE exams has been “marginally higher” when compared to the rest of the region.
Dr. Manning was at the time providing a breakdown of the results of a number of regional examinations, including the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC).
In her presentation, Dr. Manning gave insights into the performances per subject. She said that for Caribbean Studies, the regional pass rate stood at 95 per cent, with pupils achieving acceptable grades from one to five. This indicates a decrease when compared to 98 per cent passes in 2020 and 97 per cent passes in 2019 and 2018.
