– physically challenged girl among top Grade Six performers
While many are pulling out all the stops to have their children attend special schools in and around the city, the little known Enterprise Primary School on the East Coast of Demerara continues to blaze the trail with another outstanding Grade Six Assessment overall result.
This year the school has produced 33 students who gained places at the country’s top secondary schools, with one top 100 placement.
Vishwanauth Persaud, with 530 marks, was the school’s top performer, earning a place at the country’s premier secondary institution, Queen’s College.
The second best performer was Anurada Sukhram who gained a place at Bishop’s High School with 521 marks.
Three students gained places at the St. Stanislaus, while St Roses and St. Joseph’s High School will both welcome three more students each from Enterprise.
Five students gained places at President’s College and a further 18 will attend the Annandale Secondary School.
Among the school’s top performers is Rajni Persaud, a physically challenged girl who scored 507 marks to earn a place at the St. Joseph’s High School.
For their outstanding performances, the students were presented with cash awards by the Enterprise Support Group, USA Inc.
The US-based group is made up of former residents of Enterprise who have been rewarding students who by virtue of their performance have been keeping the Enterprise Primary School flag flying high.
This year they have increased the award to $200,000 with the top performer receiving $20,000.
“The main purpose of this group is to raise funds and help the underprivileged people in the community,” said Videsh Lall, a member of the group’s local steering committee.
He said that the Enterprise Support Group USA Inc. is so impressed by the results that they have decided to implement new initiatives with the aim of further improving the performance of the students of Enterprise Primary School.
Lall explained that the group proposes to pay for the extra tuition for students in specific subjects areas where their weaknesses are identified.
“We will be looking at their weak points and the ESG group will take them out and pay for them to attend extra classes. So at the end we should have better results, every child should pass the grade six examination,” Lall explained.
“The group is amazed by the results but they are still looking for betterment,” he added.
