The Education Ministry is reporting improvements in 18 of the 34 subjects for the Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate (CSEC).
Portfolio Minister, Dr. Dana Morris Dixon, made the revelation while addressing the Jamaica Teachers’ Association’s annual conference in Trelawny this morning.
It comes, a day after the exam results were released.
Dr. Morris Dixon said that while Jamaica is not where it needs to be, significant progress is being made.
This, despite the various challenges in the sector, including environmental shocks.
She said mathematics has improved from 44 per cent to 48.7 per cent over the past year.
She also pointed to the performance of students in English A, which remains above the regional average of 80 per cent.
It has moved from 85 per cent to 83.6 per cent over the past year.
