Opposition Leader, Andrew Holness, is calling on Education Minister Ronald Thwaites, to ensure that a thorough review is undertaken on the specific steps taken by those schools which recorded the greatest improvements in results in this year’s CSEC Mathematics exam.
Mr. Holness, the Opposition Spokesman on Education, says that information will be useful in crafting recommendations for those other schools looking for improvement in the subject area.
Mr. Holness says all students who did well on the CSEC Math exam should be congratulated.
He’s also encouraging those who performed below expectation to continue to strive for better.
Mr. Holness says leaders within the school community along with dedicated teachers and parents who never give up on their students, are also worthy of high praise.
He says he’s extremely pleased that work done under his administration to prioritize literacy and numeracy was being continued to good effect.
