On August 20th, , when the last SEA examination was held, the number of infections reported was 81, with a 7-day average of Compare that to our present numbers of and a 7-day average approximating , and it is clear that the 3 weeks left to the scheduled June 10th date for SEA will likely not be enough to allow for the level of decrease needed to achieve an atmosphere of reasonable safety in which to implement the examination.
In the consultations of April , the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association TTUTA ; Principal and Parent Associations, along with Denominational Boards agreed that a reasonable alternative to the June 10th date for SEA was July 1st, 6 weeks from today, which, based on the current regulations, should allow the elapse of enough time for the rate of infections and active cases to be reduced to a level deemed reasonably safe for the conduct of the examination.
Additionally, in 6 weeks time, with the second phase of the vaccination program well underway, the level of vaccinations among the population should be much higher. Teachers who are, and will be, in closest or repeated physical contact with students have been targeted as a priority group, and the Ministry of Health will accommodate this subset of teachers for priority vaccination. Therefore, based on the health considerations as explained, and mindful of the mixed views on the matter of the SEA date, and with the number one priority being the safety of our citizens, the government has taken the decision that the SEA should be postponed to Thursday, July 1st, While the examinations are important, and all preparations are being made for their safe conduct, they are not more important than the health of the population; and the latter will not be sacrificed for the sake of the former.
The Ministry of Education continues to collaborate closely with the Caribbean Examinations Council CXC , the Ministry of Health and other public sector agencies, to ensure the safety and protection of all concerned. It should be noted that CXC was written to on April 23 rd , , in light of the rapid uptick in COVID positive cases, to alert them to a possible date shift, and the schedule was also, at that time, reworked to accommodate that possibility. The Ministry of Education is therefore on track with all preparations, and the results of the SEA are expected to be released in the second week of September to facilitate the placement of students in secondary schools by the third week of September.
