Education Minister defends decision to cut exam subsidy


Education Minister Andrew Holness has lashed out at detractors who have criticised his efforts to bring greater efficiency in the education system.
Mr. Holness argues that millions of dollars have gone down the drain as a result of students registering for the Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate, CSEC but failing to show up to write the exams and a high failure rate.
"In 2008 About 10% of the students who registered did not sit the exam and were a dead weight loss to the subsidy. That amounted to approxiamately $4.5 million that just went. In terms of students who entered the CSEC exam and those who passed with a minimum Grade Three, the difference is 33,000; so in other words 34,000 did not pass,"
"We spend $102 million on CSEC alone of which $43 million accounted for students who did not get the minimum pass of Grade Three...48% thereabout.
In 2008 the difference between the number of students who registered for the exams and who sat the exams that difference was 3572 so it is more than 10%," he said.
As a result of the dismal failure rates, Mr. Holness said the programme will be revamped next year and the funds will no longer be considered as a subsidy but rather an incentive.
The minister said that they are currently looking at two options on how to compose the new incentive programme and will consult with the public before it is implemented in the schools.
Under the programme the government pays for four subjects, Mathematics, English Language, one science subject and Information Technology
