The following statement was issued by the Ministry of Education on the results of the CXC Examinations:

Mikeela Skelliekie

“The Ministry of Education is very pleased with the performance of students who sat the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC).

Dayna Fleming

This year showed a marked improvement over the previous four years, in terms of the percentage of subject entries achieving grades 1 to lll, the percentage of students passing four or more subjects and the percentage of students achieving grades 1 to ll.

Olivia Geyer

This is indeed commendable.

Nordisia Lake

“The Ministry is less pleased with the results of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE). While many students were successful, the overall performance of students declined when compared with the previous two years.

Moira Masshardt

The Ministry is in the process of re-assessing the sixth form programme at the Albena Lake-Hodge Comprehensive School with a view to restructuring it for the school year beginning September 2011.

Lavell Niles

“The Ministry congratulates the students on their achievements and extends deepest gratitude to all those who contributed to their success.

Javette Richardson

Special thanks to the teachers and other professional staff of the Albena Lake-Hodge Comprehensive School for their dedication to ensuring positive student outcomes and promoting excellence.

Dee-Ann Rogers

“We are grateful for the work that you do and your contribution to nation-building through the development of the human capital. Thanks also to parents, guardians and all others, who gave the students the necessary support to ensure success.

Michelle Romney

Your involvement is critical and we encourage you to continue to be involved in your children’s education. This is the first hurdle. They have a distance to go as we encourage them to take advantage of opportunities to further their education.

Yasmin Ebner

On this journey you must be their biggest cheerleaders.

Leon Vanterpool

“Thanks are also extended to all our community partners in education. Many times you have been called upon to contribute resources where we may have fallen short and you have willingly contributed where possible.

Karece Webster

The Ministry therefore also recognises your contribution to the success of our students.

“The Ministry of Education remains committed to promoting an ethos of excellence in our education system. Gains are being made, but there is much yet to be done. We recognsise the need to improve student performance in particular subject areas and will renew our focus on those areas over the next few years. Education is everybody’s business and we urge the entire Anguillian community to support the efforts of the Ministry and Department of Education, the school your children attend and/or the school in your area. Together, all of us can make a positive difference in the educational development of our children.”
