The son of a former East Canje Berbice sugar worker topped Region Six in the National Grade Six Assessment exami-nations based on the results released yesterday.
The Cumberland Primary School student tied with a Cropper Primary School student for the region’s top position.
Pawan Kumar Etwaroo, 11, of Cumberland Village, East Canje Berbice, said that he was quite elated to have found out that he topped Region Six. Etwaroo was offered a spot at Queen’s College, but it is likely that he will attend the Berbice High School.
The top student said he prepared for the examinations by reducing his television time and studied regularly. The young man said he knew that he would have done well but never expected that he would have secured the first spot.
