The Ministry of Education has confirmed that this year’s Grade Six Primary Exit Profile (PEP) examinations were carried out without major issues across the island on Wednesday and Thursday.
According to the ministry, a total of 31,806 students were registered to sit the exams. Of that number, more than 27,000 candidates attended public institutions, while close to 4,500 were enrolled in private schools.
Officials highlighted ongoing efforts to support students with special needs, noting that 615 candidates received approved accommodations. These provisions included extended time, the assistance of readers and writers, preferential seating, and alternative formats such as braille and large print materials.
In addition, 17 students were granted access to linguistic support services in languages including French, Spanish, and Mandarin.
The ministry also addressed adjustments made for this year’s exam cycle, explaining that performance task assessments were removed due to disruptions caused by Hurricane Melissa last October.
Despite the challenges faced in some parishes, authorities implemented measures to ensure all affected students could participate. These steps involved relocating candidates to alternate exam centres, setting up temporary weather-resistant facilities where necessary, and arranging transportation to ensure safe access to examination venues.
The ministry stated that these interventions were aimed at maintaining fairness and providing a secure environment for all candidates sitting the 2026 PEP examinations.
