The aim of the school system is to eradicate illiteracy but that seems to be changing as Minister Shaik Baksh affirmed in a recent media publication that all students must be promoted,

The teachers stated that students must be reminded that hard work leads to success.And as a result, studying their school work to be promoted into a new class should be their first priority.One teacher, named Miss June, said children will be going through the system into the world of work not knowing to fill up a straightforward interview document.She exclaimed that not passing a class exam is just one of the many reasons that triggers such action.And it was not wise for Baksh to mention that as a result of a child not being promoted to a new class will mainly lead to that child dropping out of school.It is her belief that the Ministry should not have taken such decision to murder the productive future of the next generation of leaders.Having them being promoted to a new class without knowing to apply themselves to basic reading and writing is like putting them in a boat in a river with no paddle.She said that it is the Ministry’s job to create a country where children will want to come off the streets and stay in school.Hence, the Ministry has shaped a strategy for students at secondary schools to backtrack the education policy and the product will be a future of illiterate populace.Another issue which is daunting is the magnitude of trained teacher to serve in this capacity. Some head teachers are of the opinion that most students come from the Primary level lacking the ability to read.“These children are not even able to pronounce words in symbols or create words using blends,” the teacher said.One teacher reported that the level of literacy is so low that during class exams she usually reads the questions on the paper.It makes no sense to be promoting students who cannot cope with the lowest level of the curriculum,

That student obtaining fewer averages is deemed unacceptable to write the CSEC.The policy establishes clear guidelines which the Education Ministry has been issuing to Secondary Schools around the country. Head teachers and, to a lesser extent,

One time they are telling us not to promote them and another time they telling us to promote them,” the source explained.Notably, there is no repetition at the primary level and pupils who have performed poorly at the National Grade Six Assessment are placed in remedial Sixth Form Schools with Grade Seven dedicated to transform these students to secondary school material.Baksh also noted that his Ministry is aware of the high dropout rate of students at Grades Seven to Nine and has introduced the Secondary School Competency Certificate Programme to address this problem.
