The Ministry of Education will be releasing today the results of the 2010 Common Entrance examinations, the outcome of which determines the placement of children in secondary schools.
The Daily OBSERVER has been reliably informed that ministry officials are pleased with the 10 per cent increase in the number of passes over the 2009 pass rate.
As has been the trend for a number of years, students from the private schools have outstripped their counterparts in government-run institutions and have taken the top spots in the Top 100.
However, a source indicated that government schools have performed creditably.
One thousand six hundred and eighty-one (1,681) students, 753 from private schools and 928 from government-run institutions wrote the examination which tested their competencies in English Language, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
Children who were unsuccessful in negotiating the examination will return to their school of origin.
Last year, for the first time, the minister of education announced that the Junior Secondary system was being phased out and students would be allowed to write the examination after they would have passed their 13th birthday. Twelve students this year have written the Common Entrance three times and have been unsuccessful. The ministry is now assessing what is to be done with these students.
we need the list of those who passed and not really the info

Where exactly is the whole list for the exam. Please post it, you (the Ministry of Education) is contributing to the fact that some children are better than some if you are only going to post the top 100 only. All of them did the exam and are anxious to see how much they got so PLEASE post the whole list.

how much longer should we have to wait to see the total list? one list should not be published without the other. I think they all should be ready to be published at the same time.

It is indeed good to see and not the commits of all, however, a child’s academic sucess does not depent on the ministry of education more than the parents. Parents its is high time you play your part with children in the public school so we two can claim ALL 100 spots in the CEX.

It is an overwhelming feeling and also a great achievement to pass this examintion, so I would like to congratulate all those who have passed the exam. Every school is a good school so do not compare Government to Private schools…but ASSS is the best to me though! Good luck to you guys….

It would be intersting to know what was last years pass percentage thus putting this year’s 10% increase into perspective.
Secondly, after a child has failed the exam thrice we now assess ‘what is to be done’ with these students? One wonders what they came up with the first two times other that to let them do it again. There is a saying that goes ” Insanity is doing the same thing, the same way over and over and really expecting a different result!”
