More options for the sitting and administering of the 2021 National Grade Six Assessment were announced last week by Education Minister, Priya Manickchand.
Manickchand said that the exam which is usually written in April could be sat in August if schools are given the green light from the Ministry of Health to reopen in January. But the Ministry is still deciding on how the exam, which is administered and marked by the Ministry of Education (MoE), will be set while taking into consideration the premature school closure caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
