dc.description.abstractThe Inspection Report covers 653 schools; comprising 554 primary and 199 secondary schools inspected between September 2015 and June 2019. The results indicate improvements in all the performance indicators. Students overall performance in the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) examinations continue to be low, especially in mathematics, which is vital in developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills. To offset this, many high schools offer opportunities for certification in English and mathematics from other external examining bodies, such as City and Guilds. A similar pattern exists at the primary level. For example, of the cohort that sat the Primary Exit Profile (PEP), only 40 per cent were proficient and above in mathematics, with the remaining 60 per cent categorised, as developing or below. This trend was relatively consistent across the four subject areas.
