Colin De La Cruz, 46, headmaster of Waramuri Primary School, wants the Ministry of Education to gazette the ‘primary top’ or secondary department of Waramuri primary as a discrete secondary school based on the outstanding performance of its students at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations. “I begged and lobbied for a building to house the secondary department of the school. We managed to get that building and expanded on the CSEC subjects as I said. We have children passing all the subjects being offered. We worked to improve the school a great lot with the Department of Education (DoE), Region One and the Minis-try of Education’s (MoE) support.”
The school now offers 14 subjects at CSEC but to date the most a student has written is 11. In recent years, the headmaster extraordinaire told Stabroek Weekend that on his return to Waramuri Primary in 2016, he expanded on the five CSEC subjects that the former head teacher Rudolph Peters had introduced at the primary top to 11.
