PRESIDENT’s College will be restored to its former glory, Education Minister Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine has said, promising that under his tenure he will work to lift the standards of as many schools as he possibly can.The school founded by then President Forbes Burnham, was opened in 1985, but unfortunately the President died before its opening.
It was intended to be an elite school with the top two per cent of pupils who sat the Secondary School Entrance Examination (SSEE) (the name of the Grade Six Assessment then) being awarded a place there.
Today, this criterion is no longer enforced. President’s College now has a different focus, allowing entry to pupils in far-flung communities who did well at the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA).
These students reside at the college but non-resident students, particularly those in the catchment area of Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara, who meet the requirement, also attend the top school.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
