On this first Monday of September and as we continue our observance of Education Month 2026 under the theme, "From Classrooms to Communities, Education Transforms Lives," permit me to recognize, for the first time in this way, schools across Guyana which, based on the preliminary CSEC results, recorded 100% pass rates in various subject areas.
A 100% pass rate means that every single candidate registered for that particular subject at that centre earned a passing grade of Grade I, II or III. It is beautiful to see as you examine the list the wide spread of schools represented across our country. At the CXC Recognition Ceremony a few weeks ago, I made the point that schools in every part of Guyana are doing well and when we look beyond the aggregate figures and examine the results by school and by subject, we see so many wonderful stories of hard work, perseverance and excellence.
I therefore extend my heartfelt congratulations to the students who worked diligently, the industrious teachers who prepared and supported them, the Heads of Department and Headteachers who provided leadership, our Education Officers, supportive parents, families and communities whose encouragement and sacrifices helped to make these results possible. While not every school attained a 100% pass rate in every subject, many also recorded exceptional performances of 90% and above and those achievements are equally worthy of recognition.
This year, after examining the results, I wanted us to begin this tradition of acknowledging these achievements. Too often, we become caught up in national averages and overall figures. Disaggregated results, however, allow us to see the beautiful picture beneath those numbers and recognize classrooms where teachers are giving their best, students who are rising to the challenge and schools across Guyana demonstrating that excellence is possible everywhere.
Teachers, well done. Your work matters tremendously. Continue to inspire, continue to serve and continue to be examples of what dedicated teaching can achieve. To every school being recognized, congratulations on an outstanding accomplishment. โค๐ฌ๐พ
