Minister of Education Priya Manickchand on Tuesday announced the launch of concise study notes for Social Studies and Science subjects, specifically designed for the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA).
“What this does is put all that heavy notes that your children usually get, exercise books upon exercise books into a concise form.
“So if they know this and they answer questions in and around these notes and they understand these concepts they are bang on ready for those exams,” the Education Minister said during a Facebook address.
The study notes are designed for pupils in grades four, five and six.
The notes are currently being printed to be distributed across the country, but Minister Manickchand acknowledged that the process takes time due to public bidding. In the meantime, the study notes are available on the Ministry of Education’s website.
Children’s Mathematics, English, and Social Studies performances at the 2024 NGSA improved this year. However, Science scores dipped slightly, even as the average science grade remained relatively the same.
English pass rates increased to 66.79 percent from 64.47 percent last year, Social Studies from 58.57 percent last year to 62.88 percent this year, and Mathematics from 38.87 percent last year to 40.36 percent this year.
