Guyana records improved performances in CSEC Mathematics and English

The Ministry of Education is pleased with the improvements that Guyanese students have made in a number of subject areas at the CXC Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate Examination.

The Official results were released today showing improvements in the main subjects of mathematics and english as well as in the science subjects. Improved performances have been recorded in sixteen subject areas, according to the Ministry of Education.

“Grades One to Three passes in both English A and English B improved in 2018. English A recorded a pass rate of 67.14% in 2018 and 57.99% in 2017. English B pass rate in 2018 is 78.6% as compared to 44.45% in 2017. Mathematics also improved with a pass rate of 43.39% in 2018 as compared to 39.23% in 2017. Additional Mathematics remained constant with a pass rate 68.45% in 2018 to 68.61% in 2017”, the Education Minister, Nicolette Henry reported.

According to the Ministry of Education, improved performance was evident in 16 subjects, constant in 7 subjects and declined in 12 subjects.

“Outstanding performances were noted in 7 subjects where 90% and over gained acceptable Grades (Gr 1 – 3). Some subjects with outstanding performances were Agricultural Science (Double Award) with 96.14%, Information Technology with 97.5%, Religious Education with 96.69%, Physical Education & Sports with 99.92% and Industrial Technology – Mechanical with 98.57%.”

The Chief Education Officer, Marcel Hudson said, the improved performances could be credited to a number of initiatives that the Government and the Ministry have employed to assist students.

A total of 12,269 candidates in Guyana were registered for 2018 CSEC.  Of that number just over 600 of them failed to gain passes in any of the subject areas.  The Chief Education Officer said it is an issue that will be closely examined. This is the first year that the Caribbean Examination Council has highlighted those who would have failed all of their subjects.  In the entire Caribbean, over 11,000 students failed to gain passes.

Guyana’s top performing student is Christian Pile, who gained 19 grade ones.  He is from Queens College and is closely followed by Shakira Bholo of Anna Regina Secondary who gained 18 ones and two grade twos.

Over 200 students gained grade ones passes in eight or more subjects.
