Former education minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly has urged parents to be cautious as the Government reintroduces the top 200 list for Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) students.
Speaking to reporters during an interview at the People’s National Movement General Council meeting held at the Pleasantville Community Centre on Saturday, she said that while the ranking recognises achievement, it has in the past caused students to feel dissatisfied with their results.
“What was happening is that students were placing for their first-choice school, so they were successfully placing, but were still sending reviews to make sure that they were in the top 100, top 200, or even higher,” she explained.
