KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Fi We Children Foundation (FWCF) has expressed deep concern over reports that grade six students at Ascot Primary School in Portmore, St Catherine, were allegedly treated differently during their graduation ceremony based on their Primary Exit Profile (PEP) examination results.

According to media reports, some students who did not achieve certain PEP scores were reportedly denied the opportunity to wear graduation caps and gowns. Instead, they were allegedly required to attend the ceremony in their regular school uniforms, march behind their classmates and sit at the back of the graduating class.
