The Topic of School Zoning in the next few years

[RIPEBREDFRUIT]

So government is seeking to zone kids in the upcoming years and do away with the dreded SEA.
it would be good to see what happens to all those people from south and central wanting first choice schools in port fo spain, people will have to go live in the area that they want their kids to go to school in, its done abroad so I guess it could work.

According to the minister of Edu, there are 90 govt run schools, and of those only 10 are considered to be first choice, so their plan is to revise, revamp and improve the rest of the schools to bring them up to what would be considered a first choice school.

One things for certain, Prices of Real estate in POS will once again JUMP sky high due to demand.

[pyromaniax]

I think the zoning would be a good idea. 1st choice schools are only for "image". I went to a 1st choice school but I have all the thanks in the world for a lessons teacher who was actually the one to help me with majority of what I needed to know who taught in what was considered not a first choice school.

What standards exactly do you speak of? I went to St. Anthony's in the 90's and there wasn't any standards as people believe. A great number of the students there were rich kids who had the attitude that they didn't need to learn anything or put any effort as they had it made.

The result of that is that many of them were as dumb as a bag of rocks.

With something like 40%-50% failure rates in CXC English and Maths in T&T, you can't blame parents for not wanting their children around underachievers.

Sucks having to use number of CAPE scholarships as a metric, but if you have any other method of doing so, you can feel free to elaborate.

I'm not going to bother with doing a chart or anything, but the lion's share of scholarships did not go to the POS schools.

[pete]

Kids from POS schools generally have their scholarships to US universities on lock before CAPE so don't really take it on.

Exactly but most you won't know this and I completely understand why.

[kdere]

And another thing... Most prestige schools also focus alot on extracurriculars. That's why plenty off their students leave Trinidad on music and sport scholarships. Outside the box thinking na. I think some of you need to good the meaning of 'prestige'.

[Ronaldo95163]

Those "prestige" schools in POS actually rel easy to pass for

[kdere]

schools in POS prestige?....ok then.

I wanna hear what makes them prestige...the fact that they are in 'POS'.?

Maybe if you went a prestige school you would be able to read my last post

[kdere]

If that's your English. ..and you went to a prestige school..in POS...well ..what can I say?...big up yourself.

Because tuner is the place to show of your grammar skills? Grammar policing in an argument is always the actions of a desperate man.

This is subjective and meaningless in this discussion. Do you have unbiased data to support your statement, or do you hear it from the north-western school children who love to go to moorawkus beach?

[kurpal_v2]

South schooled massive inside

My 1st choice when I wrote was the closest secondary school to my house anyhows.
