Almost 7,000 sit Primary School Examinations

It’s one of the most nerve racking days for standard six students in every corner of the country because today almost seven thousand took the first half of the Primary School Examinations. It is not a mandatory requirement but the P.S.E. is one of the factors that high schools consider when reviewing applications to determine who will be accepted. The students were under great pressure going in this morning, but just before two o’clock this afternoon News Five caught with some of the candidates and found out that the nerves had been replaced by relief.
