This initiative was set up by the assessment and examination section within the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development in line with the ministry’s medium term strategy 2013-2017.

Present during the ceremony were the principal secretary (PS) for education Dr Odile Decomarmond and PS for human resources Dr Linda Barallon, special advisor Merida Delcy, education officials, head teachers and parents.

During her remarks PS Decomarmond said the event accomplishes two things:

“It rewards a group of students for their hard work and encourages others to take an earnest decision towards their studies,” she said.

She added that the students who achieved the remarkable results have acquired a range of skills and knowledge which have been of great use in the first few months into their secondary education.

“As we acknowledge the success of the learners, we must also recognise the teachers who have worked tirelessly to steer them to success,” she said.

She urged the students to take every opportunity to learn and surround themselves with positive things, while encouraging the teachers and head teachers to continue working diligently to raise our children’s and our schools’ performances.

PS Decomarmond also called on parents to play an active role in their children’s education.

“The ministry for its part will continue to provide the necessary resources and conditions to facilitate teaching and learning in our schools so that each child has every chance of succeeding in his or her studies,” she said.

PS Decomarmond also reaffirmed the ministry’s engagement in fulfilling its aim in achieving quality teaching and learning.

Emmeline Rideau, who wants to be a doctor, said she is very happy with her performance and grateful to her parents who are devoted towards her studies and her teachers who supported her.

“I made sure to study everyday and to make good use of my free time by going over my notes or read a book,” she said.

She found that the exams were easy and the easiest was mathematics where she scored 99.

As for Hillary Lowseck, who wants to be a forensic investigator, she felt proud and happy with her achievements, saying she did not study for the national exams.

“When I pay attention in class, the lessons being taught simply register in my brain,” she said.

Anorah Renaud felt privileged to have received these awards.

“I will keep working hard so that I can receive other awards in secondary five (S5),” she said.
