We regret that the last paragraph of yesterday’s editorial captioned ‘Assessment,’ dealing with the statistics released by the Ministry of Education in relation to the results of the national Grade Six Assessment for 2010, was inadvertently omitted. We reproduce it below:
“Finally, it’s high time that the ministry begins to release the results of the Grade Two and Grade Four assessments tabulated with the Grade Six results when it provides children’s scores after the Grade Six exams. One of the reasons given for the change some years ago was that it would remove some of the pressure the Secondary School Entrance Exams placed on the students. Is this working? To paraphrase Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, it’s time for the ministry to ‘show us the money.’”
