Five Pres­by­ter­ian sec­ondary schools have cap­tured 33 schol­ar­ships award­ed for the CAPE ex­am­i­na­tions. This is more than a third of the na­tion­al schol­ar­ships of­fered to stu­dents in the coun­try this year.

The Pres­by­ter­ian Church of T&T through the Pres­by­ter­ian Sec­ondary School Board of Ed­u­ca­tion con­grat­u­lat­ed the schools and stu­dents on their re­sound­ing suc­cess as it not­ed that 14 were open schol­ar­ships and 19 ad­di­tion­al.

In a state­ment, the church stat­ed, "At our schools, we en­sure that an ethos of moral and spir­i­tu­al val­ues is in­stilled in all stu­dents. We know that they have all faced many chal­lenges dur­ing the pan­dem­ic, how­ev­er, they have been able to ef­fec­tive­ly adapt to the chal­lenges that they have faced and con­tin­ue to rep­re­sent the Pres­by­ter­ian Church of Trinidad & To­ba­go proud­ly and it shows with these schol­ar­ship an­nounce­ments."

The church added that they are grate­ful for the amaz­ing com­mit­ment dis­played by their ad­min­is­tra­tors, teach­ers, par­ents and stu­dents dur­ing these un­prece­dent­ed times.

"Our schools will con­tin­ue to make ef­forts to mould these young minds to think log­i­cal­ly and crit­i­cal­ly and be­come na­tion builders as well as car­ing hu­man be­ings. One of the things that all our schools en­sure is that the be­liefs of the Pres­by­ter­ian Church are al­ways at the fore­front of every­thing that they do."

The church said that ed­u­ca­tion should not on­ly make youths brighter but bet­ter hu­man be­ings and wor­thy cit­i­zens. "Even in times of the vir­tu­al class­room, through God’s grace, our chil­dren came out vic­to­ri­ous. Our schools un­doubt­ed­ly helped their stu­dents tap in­to their po­ten­tial and emerge as the best ver­sions of them­selves while re­tain­ing their in­di­vid­u­al­i­ty and cre­ativ­i­ty. That's the strength of the de­nom­i­na­tion­al schools."
