Following the announcement of the 2020 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) and the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations, the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has informed the Ministry of Education that several Guyanese students are on the regional merit list of top candidates by subject.
Based on the information provided, Guyanese candidates secured first-place rankings in eight subjects at the CAPE level and 11 first-place rankings at the CSEC level. Also, one Guyanese candidate achieved a first place ranking for the Caribbean Certificate of Secondary Level Competence (CCSLC) in the Social Studies subject area.
The CAPE subjects are Information Technology Unit 1, Law Unit 1, Physics Unit 1, Tourism 1, Integrated Mathematics, Physics Unit 2 and Performing Arts Unit 2 (Cinematic arts).
The CSEC subjects for which Guyanese students topped are Economics, Geography, Integrated Science, Mathematics, Physics, Principles of Accounts, Physical Education and Sport, Human and Social Biology, Portuguese, Food, Nutrition and Health Technical and Family and Resource Management Technical.
“Our students including private candidates also earned places in the 1st to 10th position ranking in various subjects as is shown below. The Ministry of Education wishes to congratulate all our students for their exceptional performance and wish them all the very best in their future pursuits,” a statement from the ministry noted on Monday.
