Government will not release full GCSE results for the Island’s public schools until it has completed a series of public town hall meetings, according to a spokeswoman.Those who attended the meetings have been shown a pair of graphs that show the vast majority of GCSE results from S2 students were technical passes — but most results appear to be under the grade of C.The Cambridge GCSE system offers grades from A* to G. Grades A through C are considered level two passes, while grades D through G are considered level one passes. Grades below G are given a U grade for unclassified.According to the graphs shown to attendees, 100 percent of students tested in the subjects of foreign languages, physical education and family studies received a grade of G or above.However in all but two subjects — foreign language and physical education — the number of students earning a grade of D to G outnumbered those who achieved a C or higher.Mathematics proved to be the weakest area for the students, with more than 20 percent of students unable to earn a G or higher. In both math and business/technology, less than ten percent of students were able to earn a grade of C or higher.And while every student that took the family studies exam received a grade of G or above, not a single student achieved a grade of C or higher.Speaking at a town-hall meeting on the Cambridge Curriculum at CedarBridge Academy last week, Director of Academic Services Llewellyn Simmons said: “We are on the path of moving up. We are only going to get better and we will get better.“I’m very confident about us getting better and better in terms of our quality of teaching, our quality of learning and overall performance of our students in not just graduating, but doing well in these external examinations.”Education Minister Dame Jennifer Smith meanwhile claimed that the students tested were in S2, while students who typically take the test are in S3 or S4, and said Government has been raising the bar for Bermuda’s students.The graphs did not show how many students took each of the tests, or express the GCSE results numerically.Last year, Government said that 54 percent of GCSE exams taken by public school students in 2011 earned grades of C or higher, but a similar figure for this year was not stated.However, Dr Simmons said the public schools had a graduation rate of 94 percent this year, with 216 out of 229 students maintaining a 2.0 grade point average.Responding to requests for detailed exam results, a Ministry spokeswoman said yesterday: “The Ministry has made a commitment to share the results in the first instance with the general public at their Town Hall meetings.“The full results will be released to the media following the last meeting, which is scheduled for later this month.”The Royal Gazette also asked the Ministry for a copy of the power point presentation shown at the meetings, but has not received it as of press time last night.According to figures shown at the meetings, younger students involved in the Cambridge Curriculum achieved average grades of between two and three on the six-point scale in the fields of English, math and science.Dr Simmons noted the range is considered “OK” on the curriculum’s scale, but said: “This is not OK for us. This is in the ‘OK’ range, but we are targeting three and up.“We are going to put a lot of attention on maths and science. We want to raise the bar in all areas, but particularity math and science.”Dr Simmons stressed the students had only been immersed in the Cambridge system for only a year or two, and everything is in place to improve.“When we look at our P6 students, when we are talking about our M3 students, we are looking at a foundation,” Dr Simmons said. “If that foundation is solid, I can assure you, we can assure you that at the senior level we will see increased performance in the A to C range.“If you are settling for less than you will get less, so we are pushing our students and our teachers to achieve more.”
