The CPEA comprised of 2 components:

  2. 2. External Assessment (60% of total score)

Features of the internal assessment included:

  3. Writing Portfolio
  4. Self-assessment
  5. Practice in “Can-do” skills in: English, Mathematics, Science, and Civics.
  6. Teacher-made test in English, Mathematics, Science and Civics.

 

The external component consisted of three multiple choice papers in:

  1. Mathematics
  2. English 
  3. Science

 

RESULTS

  • A total of one thousand seven hundred and forty-eight (1748) students were registered for the CPEA; this included eight hundred and eighty-nine (889) males and eight hundred and fifty-nine (859) females. However, from this total, one thousand seven hundred and thirty-four (1,734) students sat the external component (final exam) and one thousand seven hundred and forty (1,740) participated in the internal component.
  • One thousand, six hundred and ninety-nine (1, 699) students were assigned to secondary schools throughout Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. This included eight hundred and fifty-two males (852) and eight hundred and forty-seven (847) females. The forty-one (41) students who will be retained at the Grade 6 level will experience special ‘Diagnosis and Intervention’, leading to an individualized plan being developed for each child. Input will also come from selected Literacy and Mathematics Specialists, at the school level. The entire process and student progress will be closely monitored by the technical staff of the MOE.
