The results were announced at a press conference which was held at the Ministry of Finance conference room this morning.

900 students, 433 girls and 467 boys, wrote this year’s exams on Thursday, May 27 and Friday, May 28, 2021 at 68 centers around the island.

This year, the exam returned to its original format with four (4) papers assessed over two (2) days. On Thursday, students did the Language Arts and Social Sciences papers while on Friday, they took the Mathematics and Science and Technology Papers. All papers were in multiple choice format with the Language Arts having an additional written composition aspect.

The G6NA is administered by the Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training and National Excellence. The Ministry continued to observe the Covid-19 protocols, however, this year 3 feet distancing rather than the 6 feet was observed. All other protocols such as the wearing of masks and sanitization were observed.

    Congratulations to all the students! Congratulations to the teachers who helped and went the extra mile during COVID-19 pandemic. Congratualtions to all the parents who made sure they helped thier children. Parents have to understand for their children to perform well they have to ensure that they are present and that they play an active role in their learning. Most of the time the top performing studnets are parents who go the extra mile hands down!! For those who did not Top, this is just a stepping stone, keep pushing this is just the begining! We are all not meant to be top performers, life has a place for everyone.
