50 minutesnot enoughfor exam
THE EDITOR: Open letter to Minister of Education Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly.
I am writing to request that the time allotment for the SEA creative writing examination (50 minutes) be reviewed and reconsidered.
As many are aware, the SEA exam is already a stressful and anxiety-inducing situation for most children. The time limit for each exam inevitably adds to this pressure, though I understand that there must be some sort of reasonable time parameters.
With that said, there has been a reduction in the number of items for the language arts and mathematics paper given the setbacks that the pandemic has brought. However, I am left baffled as to why students are still only being given a mere 50 minutes to plan, write and edit an elaborate, detailed and advanced five-paragraph essay.
