The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training, and National Excellence will administer the annual Grade Six National Assessment (G6NA) on Thursday, June 23, and Friday, June 24, 2022.
A total of 854 students will be taking the exams across 70 centres around the island- 417 girls and 437 boys. The exams are set to begin at 7:45 am.
The Ministry will continue to observe the Covid-19 protocols, such as the wearing of masks and sanitization of hands. The Ministry of Education has also made every effort to ensure that students will be seated at least 3 feet from each other.
While the exam will follow the same format as in the past, this year, one paper, the Social Sciences paper, will be done in an online format. Students have already been given practice in taking this test, having done two (2) mock tests online.
On Thursday, students will take the Language Arts and Social Sciences papers, while on Friday, they will take the Mathematics and Science and Technology Papers. All papers are in multiple choice format, with the Language Arts having an additional written composition aspect.
The Ministry of Education requests that parents, or anyone not directly involved with the exam or the school, NOT remain on the compound of any testing centre while the examinations are in progress. The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training, and National Excellence wishes every student success in the upcoming assessments.
