Standards sat by children in the primary grades 3 to 6.

The total number of candidates across all our schools sitting the
2015 May-June CSEC Examinations was 743, a 3.23% decrease
compared to 767 the previous year. Exams were written in 33
subjects across all schools in both Nevis and St. Kitts. There were
four thousand seven hundred and nineteen (4719) subject entries
with three thousand nine hundred and eight (3908) entries
returning passing grades for a national average pass rate at
CSEC for 2015 of 82.81%, compared to the 78.91% average of
6
subject entries over last year with the region producing a 57%
pass rate. Consequently, the Ministry will be taking a closer look
at the number of students given the opportunity to write these
subjects.
