Evaluation The year is divided into four terms. The teachers' evaluation for each term is composed of daily marks, class tests, term papers, laboratory marks and quality of participation. There are common examinations in the 2nd and 4th terms which are included in the grade appearing on the report. The overall average for each student is weighted. Students will receive instructions in math class during the term so they will know how to calculate the average. Examinations Formal examinations will be administered to students at the end of the Second Term and the Fourth Term. The Minister of Education sets uniform examinations in designated subjects in Secondary III, IV and V. These are normally administered in the month of June and replace school examinations in these courses. Students may not be absent for examinations unless there is a valid reason. June Exam Exemptions Students who achieve an average of 85% or higher in a given course over the four terms of the year may be exempted from writing the June exam for the course. Naturally this applies only to teacher prepared exams; MEQ & MAPCO, SAPCO exams are obligatory for all students. This exemption is a reward for consistent academic achievement at school, and will provide extra time for students to study for subjects in which they are not doing as well. Homeroom Students are assigned to a homeroom group for the purposes of report card distribution, and other logistical matters. Currently, there is no homeroom period included in the daily schedule. |
