The Ministry of Education’s curriculum officers are reviewing the Mathematics syllabus with a view to possibly reducing the number of topics, as results from this year’s 11-plus exam showed students continue to face challenges in the subject.Senior Education Officer responsible for examinations Glyne Price said during a press conference on Tuesday that adjusting the syllabus would help students better grasp maths concepts.“Instead of trying to cover 20 topics, we may reduce them down to say 15, to give you the same time but more contact time per topic. I think at the secondary school, we are also looking at a similar approach“Not that we are watering down the syllabus in order to increase performance, but we are trying to give the students a better opportunity in terms of being able to master the foundation,” Price said at a press conference at the Ministry of Education where the results of the Barbados Secondary Schools Entrance Examination (BSSEE) were released.
