Education Minister announces Friday release for PEP results

The results of the Primary Exit Profile (PEP) will be released on Friday, according to Education Minister Dr Dana Morris Dixon.

Morris Dixon, who is also the Information Minister, was speaking at this morning's post-Cabinet press briefing.

She said the result portal will open to schools at 11:00 a.m. and parents will get access at 1:00 p.m.

Morris Dixon appealed to parents to register on the portal to help minimise pressure on the platform.

"Only 10,000 parents of the 30-odd thousand children have registered on the portal to see their children's grades, where are the other 20-something thousand parents? Where are you?" said Morris Dixon.

"An SMS has been sent to you, please use the SMS, it gives you the information on registering on the system, because every single year the system goes down, why does it go down, because parents are trying to register all at the same time and also trying to access (results) at the same time," Morris-Dixon said, urging parents to register today or tomorrow.
