The Opposition is calling on the government to investigate the reasons for students performing poorly in this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Mathematics exam. 

This, after Education Minister Fayval Williams reported that only 39% of students secured passes in this year’s exam.  

Speaking at a PNP press conference yesterday, Mr. Crawford said many of those passing grades were at the lower end of the spectrum. 

Mr. Crawford said of the over 31, 000 students who sat Mathematics, just over 2,000 passed with a Grade 1, while over 10,000 failed with a Grade 4. 

He said when compared with the performance of students in other Caribbean countries, Jamaica is not faring well.
