Corona Period: Bahamas Students Receives Accurate Results in Exams

Bahamas: On January 4, the Ministry of Education held a Press Conference on the National Examination results for the BJC and BGCSE. 

The Minister of Education the Hon. Jeffery Lloyd calls the exam success. The “success” of the examinations is attributed to the many hardships of the year 2020, such as schools’ closure and the abrupt transfer to a virtual learning platform. 31,000+ students across the entire Bahamas were able to sit the exam and receive accurate and accredited results.

Other positive results from the exam were that:

-68.29% of the candidates received grades A – D
