The East Canje Berbice area stole the spotlight regionally at the National Grade Six Assessment with a student from the Cumberland Primary School not only topping the region but tying with two others for the country’s top position.
The Rose Hall Estate Primary School secured the region’s second position with a total of four students from Canje securing a spot in the country’s top one per cent.
Twelve-year-old Angelica Subryan, who scored 518 marks thus securing her place at the Queen’s College, was still coming to grips with the feeling of topping the country and region on Saturday morning. Sitting between her proud parents at their Cumberland Village, East Canje Berbice residence, she recalled that after her name was announced by Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, she was extremely “happy and overwhelmed.”
