Eleven-year-old Tavez Edwards and 12-year-old Donella Lewis tied for the top spot among government primary school students in this year’s Grade 6 National Assessment.
Edwards of Jennings Primary, and Lewis of the Mary E Pigott Primary attained the honour after they both amassed 356 out of a possible 400, the highest scores earned by any government primary school student.
Edwards, who was born in Miami, Florida told Observer media yesterday that he was quite surprised by the news.
“I was honestly very surprised because I was just going along my day normally, and I never expected the results to come out so soon,” he revealed.
