A new era has dawned for Guyana’s education sector, as the country recorded its best-ever performance at the 2026 National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA), with 20 pupils achieving the highest possible score of 484 points.

Education Minister Sonia Parag provided a breakdown of the highest attainable score at this year’s NGSA, describing the performance as a historic milestone for Guyana’s education system.

“These are the best and strongest National Grade Six Assessment results, not only over the past five years but also the best result that has ever been recorded in our country’s history,” Parag said.
