With almost 1,000 CXC-level students unaccounted for since the start of the new school year, the Ministry of Education has moved to partner with religious organisations across the country to reach them and offer support.
To this end, the ministry held a virtual meeting with over 200 leaders and representatives of the religious bodies in Guyana on Friday to explore possible collaborations on the way forward to reach and support the students who have not returned to school.
In a press statement issued yesterday, the Education Ministry reported Deputy Chief Education Officer (Amerindian and Hinterland Education Development) Marti De Souza as saying that at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year, 10, 216 students were expected to move from Grade 10 to Grade 11 and should be preparing to sit the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examination next year.
