ARTI Ramroop received passes in all 21 subjects she wrote in the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations last year.
Sixteen-year-old Ramroop got 18 Grade Ones and three Grade Twos in one sitting.
However, this accomplishment was not enough for Ramroop to receive either of the two President’s Medal awards for CSEC up for grabs this year and her parents want to know why.
Arti is “disheartened†by the snub.
The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) offers 34 subjects at the CSEC level.
Ramroop, of North Eastern College in Sangre Grande, gained Grade One passes in Additional Mathematics, Chemistry, Clothing and Textiles, Economics, Electrical and Electronic Technology, Electronic Document Preparation and Management, English A, Human and Social Biology, Information Technology, Integrated Science, Mathematics, Office Administration, Physical Education and Sport, Physics, Principles of Accounts, Principles of Business, Social Studies and Technical Drawing.
