THA’s Education Division ready for CSEC and CAPE

The THA Division of Education, Innovation and Energy says it wants to assure parents and students that all protocols are in place for the CSEC and CAPE examinations scheduled to start next month.

In a release, the division said its schools’ supervisor and principals are ensuring that the cleaning companies for the schools are sanitising the compounds.

“The sanitisation process, which has already begun, will continue until the reopening of schools.”

The division said teachers will be available from Monday to work with their students to complete their school-based assessments.

To ensure physical distancing, auditoriums and large classrooms have been organised to accommodate students.

“Furniture have been placed six feet apart and students will have access to hand sanitisers and soap.

The division also said it would ensure that adequate and competent invigilators are selected to oversee exams.

“All invigilators will be required to wear masks. Teachers and students are expected to wear masks to enter the school compound, however students will not be required to wear masks while writing the exams.

“Schools’ administrators will continue to work with guidance officers to provide emotional and academic support to students in preparation for exams.”
