#JamaicaGleaner AUGUST 30, 2024: Educator Velonique Bowen believes she has the answer to remedy the low pass rates in Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) mathematics, using what she refers to as premium tutoring. Bowen, executive director of GetAced Academic Services Limited, made the assertion as education officials grapple with a 34 per cent pass rate in mathematics, a subject that is considered compulsory for students to pass if they want to access tertiary education. Jamaican students had a pass rate of 33 per cent, compared to 36 per cent across the Caribbean.
