Wolmer's Boys back in top 10, KC and JC made progress

[Time]

In the 2016 edition of the Educate Jamaica's Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) rankings, only one all-boys institution has made it into the top ten. Wolmer's Boys School moved up two places and was ranked ninth for its performance in the 2015 sitting of the CSEC exams.

Should I be disappointed that the new MOE could not significantly improve JC's ranking after 10 years? Yet he wants to make a mark on national education standards in a mere 2?

I know...robotics, STEM and the rest, but at the end of the day the students were faced with CSEC and CAPE.

JC is now at 76%. I am not sure but I believe that they were in the 60+% region last year. If true then he made progress in the 10th year, it is a big ship, it takes time to turn

Looks like the Public would like to see Dr Small take over from Mr Reid.

hopefully my friend Mikey Speid will be the next JTA president. He will have the opportunity to work with the new Minister of Education and hopefully they will create some progressive policies.

One could make an argument for that disappointment I suppose

I actually tried sending u a PM on a sensitive issue in response to your post yesterday on his appointment...but yuh box chuk up

JC's firefighting of severe systemic academic & other maladies is over...and the trend is now in a positive vector. However it's much slower than desirable and that is the subject of attention at the moment. There are internal management issues to be addressed.
The size of school @ 1900 boys is a definite factor. We had ~800 in my day

I wouldn't discount the impact of our STEM programming. JC leads not just Jamaica but the entire region in innovation and so is THE model institution in that critical area

It is only by embracing & mastering knowledge apps & technology that Jamaica can be prosperous... so moreso than any other school, JC is clearly at the leading edge of Jamaican development prospects

We are celebrating 1st place among the all boys. It is tough for an all boys school to knock off the top co-ed school and almost impossible to knock off the top all girls school.

Campion need fi si dung, it is nature taking its course!!! They should be expect beaten by the top all girls school.

On a serious note, last year I spoke to the to Wolmer's Principals and they said that these ratings mean a lot to the Principals. Hush!

Munro not even in top 20.

I'm inconsolable!
