Lower Sixth form classes starting from November 22

The Ministry of Education has announced that students entering Grade 12 (or lower Sixth form), aiming to sit the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE), will be able to attend classes from Monday (November 22, 2021).

These students will be able to attend the schools they were awarded based on their performance at this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations.

And the ministry said that the students will be engaged via the mode of delivery established by the respective schools.

Importantly, it was noted that students who are not in possession of the required school’s uniform will be allowed to attend classes in “modest and appropriate clothing” until they have acquired their uniform.

In Guyana, secondary schools- which include schools that have sixth form classes- were allowed to reopen after the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines were administered to children aged 12 to 18 years old.
