Although fewer students received national exhibitions this year, there was an increase in the number of scholarships awarded.
Minister of Education, Tertiary and Vocational Training, Kay McConney made that announcement during a virtual presentation, where 34 students, who sat the Caribbean Advance Proficiency Examination (CAPE) or completed programmes at the Barbados Community College were highlighted.
This year, 12 students – six from Harrison College, five from Queen’s College, and one from The St Michael School – received national scholarships. Only six students received scholarships last year.
On the other hand, there were 36 exhibitions awarded last year, while 21 Barbados Exhibitions were awarded this year.
