The Grade Six National Assessment got underway today with 1,285 students registered to sit the examinations — a rise of 55 students compared to last year — as the Ministry of Education reports measurable improvements in pupil performance across all four core subjects.
The increase in both participation and academic achievement reflects deliberate, collaborative efforts by educators, administrators, and ministry officials, according to Ministry of Education representative Jewelle [name incomplete in source material].
The uptick signals a positive trend for the national examination, which serves as a key benchmark for primary school students across Antigua and Barbuda as they prepare to transition to secondary education.
