The top performer at the 2009 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations of the Saraswati Vidya Nikhetan School was presented with a certificate of commendation yesterday by President Bharrat Jagdeo at the Office of the President.

According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) release, Rajiv Nandalall, who achieved 11 grade ones at the June 2009 CSEC sitting, was wished success in his future endeavours and was encouraged to continue to pursue his education by the President.
Nandalall plans to pursue studies in financing, accounting and computer science.

The President, who has been a supporter of the school, usually presents the ‘Best Student’ award at the graduation ceremony of the school but because of his busy schedule, it was arranged to have the presentation at his office, GINA said. The Saraswati Vidya Nikhetan School, a Hindu school, is located at Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara. The institution officially commenced classes in September 2002 and has a current population of 200 students from Grades 7-11.
