JTA calls for review of PEP exam schedule

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Teachers' Association (JTA) is calling for a further review of the schedule for the 2021 Primary Exit Profile (PEP) exams.

JTA President Jasford Gabriel today said 86 per cent of approximately 400 primary school teachers surveyed across the country indicated that their students are not ready for these examinations.

He noted further that 95 per cent of the teachers are asking for the exams to be pushed back, a mock exam to be administered prior to the PEP examinations and that a modified format be looked at allowing for all the examinations to be done in a shorter block of time.
