KINGSTON, Jamaica â Fi We Children Foundation (FWCF) has called for the immediate resignation of the principal of Ascot Primary School following reports and video evidence received by the organisation concerning the treatment of students during the schoolâs recent graduation ceremony.
Reports indicate that some grade six students were barred from donning caps and gowns because they did not meet the required academic qualifications, based on their Primary Exit Profile (PEP) scores. The controversy erupted during the ceremony when some students were instructed to wear their standard school uniforms, while classmates who reportedly achieved higher PEP results wore full regalia.
Parents also allege that the affected students were made to march behind their gown-clad peers and were seated at the back of the graduating class.
