GUYANA TOPPED REGION BEFORE
This is not the first time that Guyanese students would have topped the Caribbean at these exams. In fact, back in 2020, Zane Ramotar and Bhedesh Persaud also of Queen’s College were the region’s top performers for both CAPE and CSEC.
When the country hosted the opening ceremony of the 2021 CAPE and CSEC result in October, CXC Director, Dr. Nicole Manning had mentioned that Guyana recorded higher pass rates than the Regional average at both the CSEC and CAPE levels.
Dr. Manning disclosed too that, much like the performance for CSEC, 88 percent of the CAPE candidates from Guyana obtained acceptable Grades One to Five Passes, as opposed to the Caribbean’s 87 percent pass rate. Additionally, she said that the 33 subjects offered by CXC at the CSEC level, Guyanese candidates would have topped 20 subjects.
