“I encourage and urge all parents and guardians to engage in open conversations with their children about their results.

“It is essential for students to feel supported as they consider their next steps, whether that involves pursuing higher education, vocational training, or entering the workforce,” Mr Radrodro said.

Mr Radrodro acknowledged all teachers, students, and parents for their hard work, which is evident in the results and looked forward to their continued support.

He called on students continuing their educational journey in schools and in tertiary institutes should stay focused on achieving their academic goals and perform to the best of their ability.

He said students who wished to apply for a recount or a remark could submit an application at the Examinations and Assessment Office at Gohil Building or at their nearest District Education Office.
