Browne congratulated the students, their parents, and their schools for their dedication and support, which she said played a key role in the students’ success. She also noted that the top CSEC student is determined by the number of Grade Ones achieved.
These students have demonstrated exceptional commitment and perseverance. Their achievements reflect not only their own hard work but also the guidance and encouragement provided by their families and teachers, Browne said.
The announcement highlights the continued excellence of students across Antigua and Barbuda in regional examinations and celebrates the country’s academic talent.
Congratulations ladies and gentleman. Well done. You should be proud of yourselves
