A Georgetown Secondary School Deputy Head with whom Stabroek Business spoke said that while she was unaware of the City and Guilds programme being offered by the JTW Institute, “any initiative that can respond to the need to get our English and Mathematics grades up at the CSEC level should be taken seriously,” though she added that to bring such a programme on stream in state schools at this time may require “far more teaching resources than we have available in the system at this time.”
Both public and private sector entities have, for years, been calling for steps to be taken to seek to improve CSEC performances in English and Mathematics given the fact that these subject areas are widely regarded as critical not only to qualifying for university entry but also for performing effectively in several areas of work.
