Minister of Education, Youth and Information, Fayval Williams, says that students are allowed to graduate at fifth form but are encouraged to return for two additional years of study under the Sixth-Form Pathways.
Minister Williams was addressing students at a Sixth-Form Pathway town hall at Excelsior High School in Kingston on Thursday (November 18).
The programme, which comes into effect during the current 2021/2022 school year, is part of the Ministry’s implementation of a seven-year high-school programme.
It allows for students who complete grade 11 to enrol in the programme and pursue a two-year course of study with alternative opportunities alongside the traditional sixth-form curriculum.
