> To date, a terminal evaluation has been undertaken. You are all invited to participate so that you can proffer suggestions on what to be taken on board or discard for the next cycle.

> In light of the learning poverty that prevailed due to COVID-19-induced school closures, the ministry came up with a cocktail of alternative learning spaces.

> This entails blended learning, the development of catch-up materials and compressed syllabi for accelerated learning.

> In 2017, the school attained a pass rate of 72%, 78% in 2018 and 89% in 2019. This is quite commendable.

> I have been made aware, however, that the school experienced a slight decline of 86% pass rate in 2020 and 83% in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Secretary’s Merit Awards awarded to the school include the Head’s tablet and certificate of excellence, 40 tablets, a projector, an electronic interactive board, and a laptop. | NewsDay
