There will be strict ad­her­ence to COVID-19 pro­to­cols when par­ents and stu­dents col­lect the re­sults of the re­cent­ly-ad­min­is­tered Sec­ondary En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA) to­mor­row.

“The Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion un­der­stands the ex­cite­ment as­so­ci­at­ed with SEA re­sults. How­ev­er, we strong­ly en­cour­age par­ents/guardians to ad­here to the min­istry’s guide­lines to pre­serve the health and safe­ty of all,” a re­lease from the min­istry said yes­ter­day.

It not­ed that re­sults will be dis­sem­i­nat­ed from the min­istry’s Port-of-Spain head of­fice and col­lect­ed by prin­ci­pals at their re­spec­tive dis­trict of­fices as is stan­dard pro­ce­dure. How­ev­er, it not­ed that prin­ci­pals will arrange spe­cif­ic pe­ri­ods of time for the col­lec­tion of re­sults be­gin­ning at 10 am and urged par­ents and guardians to ad­here to this.

Ac­cord­ing to the re­lease, on­ly one par­ent will be al­lowed to ac­com­pa­ny a stu­dent to col­lect re­sults.

“On­ly one par­ent/guardian will be per­mit­ted on­to the school com­pound with the child to col­lect re­sults and leave im­me­di­ate­ly. Open­ing of re­sults or dis­cus­sion of re­sults on the school com­pound is not per­mit­ted,” it said.

Par­ents were al­so en­cour­aged to read the SEA In­for­ma­tion Book­let which will be pro­vid­ed along with the stu­dent’s place­ment slip and per­for­mance re­port “for an­swers to many of their ques­tions.”

“This book­let con­tains fre­quent­ly asked ques­tions about trans­fers, query­ing re­sults, in­ter­pret­ing the Stu­dent Per­for­mance Re­port among oth­er con­cerns,” it said.

The min­istry said the reg­is­tra­tion date for each sec­ondary school will be in­di­cat­ed on the place­ment slip and per­for­mance re­port.

“Schools will fa­cil­i­tate reg­is­tra­tion us­ing a mixed method of on­line and walk-ins. Twen­ty-two schools will utilise on­line reg­is­tra­tion on­ly, 44 will utilise walk-ins and 89 will utilise a mixed method of both on­line and walk-in reg­is­tra­tion,” the re­lease said.

Ad­di­tion­al de­tails, it said, can be ob­tained through con­tact­ing the as­signed sec­ondary school, us­ing the school’s web­site or phone num­ber. The min­istry re­it­er­at­ed that it will be en­forc­ing the phys­i­cal dis­tanc­ing and oth­er guide­lines as pre­scribed by the Min­istry of Health.
