SEA plight

THE EDITOR: My son is writing the 2018 SEA examination and he is in a quandary and very confused when it comes to the expository/report writing in the creative part of the paper. I have one question that I –and I am sure other parents – need clarification on: Does my son have to write in the first or third person?

In the English Writing Examplars Booklet on page 28, a report with a perfect score was written in the first person. However, teachers and curriculum officers have indicated that students have to write in the third person. I would be extremely grateful if the Ministry of Education would issue an official statement to clarify this matter.
