CariMAN congratulates all students who participated in this year’s Grade Six National Assessment. We are encouraged to see that two boys, Pioneer Prep, topped the results this year and it is also encouraging to see that the top prizes have been decentralized in comparison to former years.
Congratulations to the parents and staff of the Petite Savanne Primary School and the other schools on their achievements.
Though our girls are still leading the way, the results also demonstrate that the gap is closing, gradually. However, we must continue to acknowledge the girls for their consistency and, simultaneously, we must continue to exalt our boys for putting the extra efforts in striving for excellence. As much as we expect the boys to excel we would not like to see the girls performance diminish, for their continued excellence means a healthy educational system involving both gender; This will ensure a more productive nation.
More than ever before, we have to acknowledge and accept the fact that parental supervision and responsibility do have a great impact on children’s academic performance and their personal and social developments.
CariMAN is calling on all fathers to take up their parental responsibility and be more involved and engaged in their children’s schooling, not only for examinations but in their general education from Early Childhood to the Tertiary level. Fathers may not be physically present in the house, but they need to make their presence felt, not only in punitive situations but as positive role models.
CariMAN is playing its role in the development of our boys as the Organization, this year, adopted the St. Mary’s Primary all-boys school and, together with school personnel, have initiated a school Programme titled Boys on a Mission to Success comprising teacher training, counselling interventions, students improved academic performance, students; best behaviour, spiritual direction, mentorship programme, and the formation of a Father and Son Club.
This we anticipate is an avenue in addressing the boys’ total development: personal, social, academic and spiritual.
Dear Gabby,
In saying that Jesus would never use such a crude expression you are quite right. Instead his word simply says to us all that “The wages of Sin is Death.” Now if one does not know that God has placed Homo-Sexual activity in the category of abominations [sin that is particularly disturbing to him because it is entirely contrary to his purpose of procreation, and against the natural use of the body] then such an individual is flirting with death by contracting deadly disease, torment from the demonic activities that are associated with that behavior, and finally, the second death. That is total separation from God in final judgement; a condition that is only avoidable through repentance from sin, and submission to the laws of God. Instead of flirting with death, you could opt for the gift of eternal life. You are guaranteed to enjoy the difference.
Want to know what CARIman has to say about the disgraceful abomination that is floating in the air re-homosexuality and pressures by miridom on government of the Caribbean and D/ca to do the same legalize what is abominable ?
