Amid parents' concerns on social media that school placements did not reflect their children's Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) scores, Education Minister Dr Michael Dowlath says there has been no change in the placement process used by the ministry this year.

Newsday asked Dowlath on July 7, if the ministry was aware of the complaints, if they were being addressed, and what are some reasons for the variation in results and school placement.

Dowlath said the process “has not changed from previous years” and outlined the “established criteria” used in determining student placement.
