Education Minister, Petter Saint Jean<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Education Minister Petter Saint Jean says that this year, the Ministry of Education has extended its analysis to include not only the top performing students, but top performing schools and most improved schools.<\/p>\n

He made his comments as he addressed the media during the release of the 2013 GSAT exam results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Roseau Primary School tops the list of Most Improved Schools and this is a perfect example of how a school faced with many challenges can realize success with the right combination of sound management policies and a winning attitude from teachers, students and parents,” he said. \u201cAs a Ministry, we will continue working with our other primary schools who have not met with the same level of success in this year\u2019s exam to bring them up to the high standards we have set for all schools in Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stated that with this year\u2019s results, a disparity in the performances of boys and girls was noticed and this continues to be extremely worrying as \u201cour goal is to give our males the same opportunities for academic success as are available to our girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must find ways, as an education system, as a nation, to narrow the gap between the performance levels of boys and girls,” he stated. “As we move forward, an intervention program is necessary to identify the challenges that our boys face, provide high quality teaching to address their difficulties and give effective support at the Ministry level as early as possible in areas of curriculum, assessment, leadership and management.”<\/p>\n

He said the ministry must “address urgently, the teaching and learning of Maths and English and improve our boys\u2019 attitudes to and confidence in reading and writing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saint Jean said his ministry is \u201cencouraged by the general positive trends we have noticed from this year\u2019s results.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results have revealed that we are on par with our regional testing body as the results of the G6NA also show that there is a strong correlation with the results of the Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA) piloted this year in five primary schools,” he remarked. “It means that we are doing something right in Dominica and that our methods of assessment are comparable to established regional standards.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Education Minister Petter Saint Jean says that this year, the Ministry of Education has extended its analysis to include not only the top performing students, but top performing schools and most improved schools.
