    Congrats to all the children for their hard work. But somebody pls tell me, what are you aspiring to do in life that you need 17+ CSEC subjects? A little advice … Spend some time in church, youth activity, sports, community aid, dance, choirs, so much to life outside the books. Be well rounded, not just with book sense.

      Sue: Grenadians had been going to church since slavery and look at where they are. The people who gave you God, Jesus and religion don’t even believe that nonsense themselves, which is why they gave it to us in the first place and not education. Permit me to let you in on a little secret – this God you love so much is really a creation of the mind, this fella does not exist at all. Nor does the Devil, Heaven, Hell and those little white children flying about with wings called Angels, they are all creations of the human mind. To test this God, tell pray to him for the numbers in a lottery and after the drawing, tell me if he passed the test.

    In 2017 a Student in Guyana (Michael Bhopaul) sat 25 Subjects. He attained 24 grade ones and 1 grade two. That was the highest ever for the region. Guyanese students always top CXC followed by Jamaica. Grenada numbers are lower compared to these 2 other countries but still congrats to all for their hard work & effort.
