More pupils achieved passes in all four subjects of the 2026 National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA), the Caribbean Examinations Council’s (CXC) Director of Operations Dr Nicole Manning said on Friday.
“This gradual improvement that you are seeing year-on-year is something you should be happy about because it is saying that whatever interventions you are doing, it is having an impact,” Dr Manning said during the official release of the NGSA results at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) in Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown.
The NGSA 2026 results can be accessed at https://exams.moegy.org/. The Minister of Education said 15,706 students sat the NGSA 2026.
Minister of Education Sonia Parag said this year’s results reflect the best performance of Grade Six students in Guyana’s history. “These are the best and strongest National Grade Six Assessment results not only over the past five years but these are the best results that have ever been recorded in our country’s history,” she said.
Ms Parag said Guyana’s results have “achieved the regional benchmark” when compared to those from similar assessments across the Caribbean.
Other initiatives include improving literacy and improved teacher education.
Ms Parag attributed Guyana’s achievement to years of sustained investment in education by her People’s Progressive Party Civic-led governments.
She credited her immediate predecessor, Priya Manickchand, for laying the “strong foundation for the transformation of education in our system.”
The 2027 NGSA is scheduled for April 14 to 15 and the results will be released on June 25, 2027.
The government’s Department of Public Information (DPI) said the overall percentage of pupils attaining 50 per cent or more increased across all subject areas when compared to 2025.
English language recorded the highest pass rate at 73.08 per cent, up from 69.25 per cent last year.
Social studies increased from 64.77 per cent to 65.28 per cent, science improved from 63.70 per cent to 65.38 per cent, while mathematics recorded the largest gain, rising from 55.51 per cent of the candidates earning 50 percent and above to 59.80 per cent.
“This speaks volume, not only at this stage, but also volume for what we know we will see in five years time,” she said.
Meanwhile, Dr Manning also highlighted a significant increase in the number of pupils attaining full marks across the subjects, particularly in English, social studies, science, and mathematics.
She noted that no candidate received zero marks in English or social studies this year, while mathematics recorded the lowest number of zero scores in the past five years.
She explained that the improved performance occurred despite enhanced quality assurance measures throughout the marking process.
“We maintained rigorous standards through a three-tiered monitoring system, continuous remarking where necessary, and post-marking quality reviews to ensure the integrity of the results,” Dr Manning stated.
The CXC engaged approximately 350 examiners to mark this year’s assessments.
Multiple layers of quality assurance were also undertaken, including standardisation, independent reviews and forensic checks before the results were finalised.
