THIS EXAM IS KNOWN AS THE COMMON ENTRANCE EXAMINATION:

New Guyana School student tops NGSA

“This is just the beginning; the sky is the limit,” Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, was heard telling some of the top performers in the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) as she scurried around the city to personally congratulate them yesterday.
The Minister, accompanied by some of her senior officers, braved inclement weather to meet the pupils and teachers at their schools and present them with bouquets of appreciation.
The Minister had earlier announced the NGSA results at a press conference convened at the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD).
The announcement saw the Ministry adopting an inclusive twist which embraced technological advances, thereby allowing the nation to share in the moment as it was streamed live via the Ministry’s website (www.education.gov.gy) and simultaneously broadcast via the National Communications Network (NCN)’s radio and television.

TOP PERFORMERS
JORREL DE SANTOS
12-year-old Jorrel De Santos of the New Guyana School was announced by the Minister as the country’s top performer when she proudly announced the results. De Santos scored a total of 533 marks.
The resident of Prashad Nagar was yesterday surrounded by his relatives and teachers when education officials and media operatives visited his school.
His father, Levan De Santos, said he was elated that his son did well, but went on to note that he had expected the outstanding performance.
“We are all very proud of Jorrel.”
His mother who is currently based overseas was reportedly also excited to hear the good news.
According to the young De Santos, “I expected to do well, but not this well…”
He chuckled as he recalled how he made lots of sacrifices in order to achieve his success. “I had to give up the time I spent on my computer and spend more time studying,” said the lad who hopes to become a neurosurgeon.

ALIAH MOHAMED
“I was stunned,” related 11-year-old Aliah when asked about her reaction to her accomplishment. The School of the Nations pupil secured 531 marks, effectively allowing her to be named the second top performer.
“Right now I am feeling very happy and surprised at the same time…I am excited to go to high school,” said the Lamaha Gardens resident.
According to the aspiring lawyer, she recognised the need to work really hard and was willing to sacrifice watching too much television and playing games to remain focused on her books.

RAVI SINGH
With his 530 score, 11-year-old Ravi Singh of Westfield Prep was able to claim for himself the third top performing position. He during an interview yesterday said that he was long convinced that his dedication to his studies was going to pay off.
“I’d hoped to get something good and I did…I went to lessons and I stayed up very late at nights sometimes until after 11, but I still was able to wake up and attend school,” he recounted. Singh recalled that his Saturdays and Sundays were just as engaging, adding that, “I hardly had any time to rest…”
“This is a stressful journey but you have to brave-up and do your best,” was his advice to other pupils who will next year be participating in the NGSA. He has plans to become a pilot.

ISAAC MALLAMPATI
Twelve-year-old Isaac Mallampati of the New Guyana School with his 527 score, placed fourth in the country. The lad of few words, who resides at 100 ‘A’ Sixth Street Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara, thanked his parents and teachers for helping him to be successful.

ANALISE SAMAROO
According to 11-year-old Analise Samaroo of School of the Nations, while she is happy with her performance, she did not expect to do so well.  She scored 525 and claims her main supporters were her teachers, parents and friends, all of whom encouraged her considerably.
“Without them I don’t think I would have been able to do it,” said the young girl who related that she has plans of becoming a Spinal Surgeon.

KRYSTAL SINGH
Kyrstal Singh said that with intense studying prior to the exam, she knew that she had to come out successful. The 11-year-old pupil of Success Elementary School scored 524 marks and placed sixth in the country. She said that after learning that she would be attending Queen’s College she became overly excited.
“I got the school of my dreams” she proudly told this publication. Asked about her future goals, the lass related that she one day hopes to become an architect.
“I would watch my aunt do her work and I feel so inspired.”

JEREMIAH BENTHAM
Jeremiah Bentham, a 12-year-old of La Parfait Harmonie was overwhelmed when he got the news of his outstanding performance. He placed sixth at the NGSA having acquired 524 marks. The pupil of Winfer Gardens said that he “studied all night, gave up television…and a lot of things,” which he believed propelled him in the right direction.
“It’s like I can run, skip, jump all at the same time, but I’m generally grateful to God, my mother, and my teachers for my success,” he noted.

JERON BOUCHER
Happy was the single word uttered by 11-year-old Jeron Boucher to describe how he felt about his performance. The pupil of Genesis Early Childhood School was able to outdo his counterparts, with his 524 score allowing him to place sixth in the country. He said that he studied hard and refrained from indulging in reading story books in the run-up to the exam.
The Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara resident recalled how he would routinely wake-up in the wee hours to study, a practice he said has paid off.
“I was simply elated when I heard about my performance…I can’t fully explain it, but I’m jubilant.” He credits God, his parents and teachers for his outstanding achievement.

SHANIA DE GROOT
Twelve-year-old Shania De Groot said that she was pleasantly surprised that her name was called as one of the top students in the NGSA. She told Kaieteur News that she became aware that she had placed in the top 10 while watching a television broadcast. She scored 523 marks and thereby placed ninth at the NGSA.
“After I heard my name I began jumping and screaming”. The pupil of Success Elementary School said that she had sacrificed many things as she was preparing for the examinations.
“I had to give up the TV, and as for the computer I was only allowed when I had assignments” she recalled, adding that many nights she would go to bed after midnight as she would be engaged in studies for hours. She has plans to become a lawyer or doctor.

REUBEN STANLEY
Reuben Stanley of Kuru Kururu Linden Soesdyke Highway and a pupil of Mae’s Under 12 placed ninth in the country with his 523 score. Stanley is an ardent lover of cricket. When Kaieteur news caught up with the young achiever yesterday understandably he was busy playing cricket.  “I had to give up my cricket for a while, but it was all for the best,” said Stanley, who intends to eventually become “a lawyer and a dentist when I grow up, or any one of the two will do.”

OTHER TOP PERFORMING PLACES
Also securing top performing places at the NGSA are Aimee Ali of the Success Elementary School; Thomas Singh of Marian Academy; Emily De Agrella of Mae’s Under 12; Arielle Lewis of St Margaret’s Primary; Manoj Lachman of the Academy of Excellency and Amrita Ghandatt of Enmore Hope Primary School. All six secured 11th position at the NGSA, as each scored 522 marks.
The NGSA was written on April 15 and 17, 2014 and saw a total of 15,227 candidates participating, according to Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand. She disclosed yesterday that the candidates had previously participated in the National Grade Two Assessment in 2010 and the National Grade Four Assessment in 2012.
Moreover, the results that were released yesterday were designed to give a report of the candidates’ overall performances at three assessments since a percentage of the marks of the Grades Two and Three Assessments were combined with the marks gained at the NGSA.
Candidates were assessed in the subject areas of Mathematics, English, Science and Social Studies.
According to Minister Manickchand five per cent of each candidate’s Grade Two score in Mathematics and English and 10 per cent of the Grade Four Score in the same subjects were added to 85 per cent of each candidate’s score in those subjects. The combined scores in Mathematics and English were added to the scores gained in Science and Social Studies.
Moreover, the highest possible standardised scores obtainable were: Mathematics – 136, English – 132, Science – 135 and Social Studies – 137, thereby allowing for the highest possible attainable total score to be 540.
And based on the analysis of the results, the cohort comprising the top one per cent reflects outstanding performances among 89 females and 79 males thereby accounting for 168 candidates.
The cut off score for those eligible to attend sixth form schools are: 514 – Queen’s College, 510 – The Bishop High School, 506 – St Stanislaus College, 503 – St Rose’s High, and 500 – St Joseph’s High.

Looking at the chart, it would be interesting to note that the school on the Eccles East Bank...Success Elementary School did exceedingly well in securing twenty places in the top 1 percent.

Congratulations to the Teachers and students who did a wonderful job, in securing 20 top positions, seem like seven from this school will be attending QC

There is another story to this report, it tells us the the Private Schools, has outperfromed the Government Schools by a wide margin.

The Minister in the Ministry of Education should get her carriculum on a more positive side, as the Government are spending billions on this Ministry just to get Shitty Results.

Abee Gjuyana too SWEET.

THIS IS THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATIONS NOTICE: WHICH WOULD NOW BE LIKE A PIECE OF CRAP IF THE FOLLOWING NEWS ARE TRUE:

Region Ten top performer heads to Queen’s College

By Jacquey Bourne Regma Primary School once again produced the top Region Ten student in the National Grade Six Assessment Examination, formerly known as the Common Entrance Examination. The aspiring scientist, a shy 12-year-old Roy Rogers, topped the Region with 514 marks. According to the top student he was shocked when he heard the news. “I expected to do well but not to top the Region”.  He said that he is very happy because he is the only student in the region’s top ten who was awarded a place at Queen’s College. Roy’s father who is a self employed technician and his mother, a housewife, are very happy that the second and only boy of their three children has done so well. The teacher, Symphia Griffith, was very overwhelmed. She said that it was the first time one of her students finished among the top ten of the country. She said she must give God the glory. Aquil Gill, an 11-year-old aspiring Scientist/Inventor, was second in the Region with 513 is a twin. He is also the only boy between three children. According to him, “ I just wanted to get a place at QC.” He was awarded a place at Bishop’s High School. His twin was awarded a place at Mackenzie High School. He said that it was hard studying but his parents were very supportive. His father Dennis Gill, aka Jafar Mohamed, who is a Phlebotomist and owner of Rite Care Pharmacy and mother Dr. Oneka Higgins,  a medical doctor at the Georgetown Public Hospital are elated at their son’s success. His teacher, Michelle Craig, who also taught the student who placed fifth in the Region, said that she is very happy to have students in the regional top ten again. In 2011 she was the teacher of the third and sixth place students in the country. She has been teaching for 24 years, serving the pupils of Grades Five and Six for the past 12 years. Her biggest joy is not getting students in the top but about who they become after leaving school. She even made mention of a former student who is presently a medical doctor at the Linden Hospital Complex. Eleven year old Ayrton Waldron, with 511 marks, placed fifth in the Region. The aspiring surgeon or scientist came from Stewart Park, Christianburg. He is the last of three.

THE CUT OFF POINT FOR Q/C IS 514 MARKS, BOLDLY ANNOUNCED BY THE PPP/C MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, NOW WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE???????

STUDENTS WITH 513 AND 511 MARKS ARE GIVEN Q/C; WONDER WHICH GOVERNMENT MINISTER TOOK BRIBE FOR THIS DECISION:

Also The New Guyana School did very well too as it gained 12 Candidtates in the top 1 percent group

Two Private Schools that did exceedingly well are:

1) Success Elementary School: 20 Candidates: top the country

2) New Guyana School..........: 12 Candidates

Must be noted that the New Guyana School copped the 1st and the 4th best position in the Country

The shifts in the Education system

Nearly two decades, in the wake of the announcement of the National Grade Six examinations there were those in the upper echelon of society who screamed that a young male teacher had cheated. To make matters worse, that young male teacher was operating from a school that was never expected to produce students capable of achieving much. Even the Ministry of Education had created a stereotype of the various schools. They knew which schools would do well and those that certainly would not. This stereotype is very much there although in public the officials would not admit it. The school was West Ruimveldt Primary School and the teacher was a young man named Wilfred Success. When the results were announced West Ruimveldt Primary School had secured six of the top ten pupils. Parents who had spent thousands of dollars on extra lessons with some of the prestigious teachers in the system were among the loudest to scream. How did children from the dregs of the society perform so well? That was impossible. That particular society was already known to produce criminals and the society was not prepared to shatter the mould. The officials in the Education Ministry listened to the voices of the high and mighty and mounted an investigation. The investigators found nothing. They had been told that the school had got hold of the examination papers and had drilled the children. For one year the matter would not go away. Wilfred Success did it again the next year and while there were the exclamations the high and mighty were beginning to realize that there was a good teacher who would not turn his back on the disadvantaged in society. The Education Ministry attempted to transfer him. He was being wasted in a depressed community. But Success refused the transfer and continued to make a lot of poor parents happy. And his band of disciples grew to include the rich; his critics were now sending their children for him to tutor them. There was a similar ripple when Leonora Primary School produced some top students. Today, nearly twenty years ago those children who opened the eyes of Guyana to Wilfred Success are themselves parents, some with children preparing to write those very examinations. At the same time we are witnessing how parents are neglecting the once top schools—St Margaret’s, Stella Maris. There was a time when every parent wanted his or her child to attend these schools because they provided excellent results. Those with money then sought to get their children to the private schools that were also attracting good results. Today, many people are coming to the conclusion that if they pay for education they are going to get the best results. There is no consideration for the fact that the child must also demonstrate an inclination toward the academics. What the system has exposed is that just after we concluded that we did not have teachers the private schools have emerged and they are attracting relatively good teachers who can do just about anything but mathematics. It cannot be accidental that children are struggling with English and Mathematics in the public school system.  The system seems happy with teachers who resent mathematics because it employs them and does not insist on them improving their qualifications by way of special holiday courses. The result is that the country is continuing to lament poor performance in mathematics. If this is unique to the public schools then the Education Ministry may wish to introduce a monetary incentive for passes in mathematics. It may do well to give mathematics and science teachers a special salary. If the problem with mathematics is across the spectrum then we can rest assured that the private schools are going to poach on the public schools unless the monetary incentive is so good that no teacher would want to leave. But there is one other thing that we need to take note of. Wilfred Success is no longer concentrating on the children of a depressed community and the Education Ministry has not done much to see that those children do not form the bulk of those who fall by the wayside.

Interesting to note that Mr Success, has not done it for this year alone, year after year he has been doing it. His school has been doing the impossible.

This is the man, should be the Minister of Education, for a better Guyana, not that blockhead that is currently the education minister who does not care that the Government Schools were beaten to a pulp in this Common Entrance Exam.

Methinks that she should have some shame and come up with some better excuse..........Shame on the Donald Duck

Once the President College was the Premier of Education, today under the Corrupt PPP/C the President College has gone to  the dogs, one hears nothing about it.

President's College, opened in 1985, was founded by the late president of Guyana Forbes Burnham, who launched the project in 1983 but died before the school opened.

Students used to be selected from the top two percent of candidates in the Secondary School Entrance Examination (SSEE) and subjected to an evaluation process including interviews with school personnel. Now students are allowed to transfer into President's College and preference is given to those from more remote areas. The school allows students to attend without being residential, thereby functioning as a boarding and a day school.

The Corrupt PPP/C has now made The President's College, a school for Lagubagus

it is a wicked compulsion of the philistine PPP to destroy (or allow to decay) anything created by the PNC they cannot claim or rebuild as their own . . . regardless of merit or deleterious effect on the everyday lives of ordinary Guyanese

the list is depressingly long . . .
