Barbados Children Directory
At present there is ongoing action to reform the education system on the island as the government plans to put an end to the Common Entrance Exam (CEE).
A decision, I wish they would rethink as the CEE is the fairest means of transfer for children from primary to secondary school on the island.
Having said that I recognise that there are some challenges surrounding the exam, but not the exam itself.
The major concern I have with the CEE is the approach taken towards the exam. There need to be a look at how the students are taught in primary schools and that the focus should be moved from passing an exam to ensuring that the child grasp concepts, can critically think and analyse situations.
