Day 2 of PSE and the students are confident
namita balani
At around one-thirty this afternoon, primary school students streamed out of exam centers with a weight lifted off their shoulders after completing the second half of the Primary School Examinations. Today’s papers were in Math and Social Studies, two subjects that put the students to the test. We caught up with a few of them after the exams to find out how it went and how prepared they were to sit day two of the PSEs.
