THE Ministry of Education, Youth & Information has announced that the Primary Exit Profile (PEP) will replace the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) in 2019.
PEP, a series of assessments, will provide a profile of where the students are academically, their strengths and weaknesses, and their readiness for grade seven. PEP will assess the students’ knowledge in addition to placing increased emphasis on assessing their demonstration of 21st century skills, for example, critical thinking and communication.
