 Message from
THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION,
TECHNOLOGICAL AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING

It is with great pleasure that I introduce this

booklet to you the parents and guardians of
the students who will be writing the Barbados
Secondary School Entrance Examination
on Tuesday May 5, 2020.
This booklet contains important information
about partial zoning, the choice of schools
available in each zone, flexible transfer,
special requests and the eligibility of students
born overseas. You are encouraged to read
Hon. Santia J.O. Bradshaw, M.P. it carefully and to consult with your child/
ward’s class teacher and principal before
completing the choice of school form.
The Ministry has a zero-tolerance policy towards requests for transfers
unless there are exceptional circumstances and therefore the order and
number of schools you select are important in determining how each child is
allocated to a public secondary school. Parents/Guardians are encouraged
to take advantage of all of the available options.
As this Ministry embarks on a series of reforms to the educational
system in the coming months, an exciting and rewarding secondary school
experience awaits your child/ward. The Caribbean Certificate of Secondary
Level Competence (CCSLC), the Caribbean Vocational Qualification
(CVQ), London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Preliminary
English for Business Examination and City and Guilds (C&G) offered at
the secondary level provide multiple pathways through which your child/
ward can achieve additional qualifications and be prepared for the world
of work.
I take this opportunity to wish all students success in the examination and
continued success as they pursue their secondary education.

 BARBADOS SECONDARY SCHOOLS’ ENTRANCE EXAMINATION
2020
GUIDELINES FOR PRINCIPALS, TEACHERS
AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS

TIME AND VENUE OF EXAMINATION

The examination will be held on Tuesday, May 5th, 2020. It will be held again at
the Public Secondary Schools.

FLEXIBLE TRANSFER
2.1 Some children are already able to benefit from secondary education
before age eleven while others would not yet have acquired mastery of
the foundation skills. These children need to have a system which is
responsive to their development. To this end, the flexible transfer system
seeks to:
(i) provide schools with a system of organisation whereby children
are catered for according to their needs;
(ii) improve pupils’ achievement by seeking to ensure that all pupils
have acquired the necessary basic skills; and
(iii) reduce the frustration felt by those pupils who now have to
wait for one year or two years in Class 4 before transferring to
secondary school.
2.2. Parents/Guardians should be made aware that the vast majority of
pupils will continue to write the Barbados Secondary Schools Entrance
Examination at the customary age which is eleven (11) years, but under
twelve (12) years old at August 31st in the year of the examination.
2.3. Under this system, pupils who will be at least nine (9) years old but under
eleven (11) years old on August 31st, 2020 may write this examination
in May 2020 provided that the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i) the pupils have covered the syllabus and are otherwise ready as
determined by the Principal in consultation with their teachers;
(ii) the pupils have consistently scored 85% and over in
both English and Mathematics in the previous six (6)
consecutive terms preceding the Academic Year in which
the student is seeking to write the Barbados Secondary
Schools’ Entrance Examination. These marks will be taken
from the end of term tests, and they must be submitted for
examination by the Ministry of Education.
(iii) the pupils’ parents/guardians have consented.

Page 
 Parents and Guardians should bear in mind that being in
class 4 does not mean that the pupil will be allowed to write
the examination outside of the customary age.

2.4. Pupils who will be 11 years old by August 31, 2020 may be
recommended to defer writing the examination for one year
until May 2021, if in the opinion of the Principal, the pupils will
benefit from the extra year provided that one or a combination
of the following conditions is met;
(i) The pupils have consistently scored 20% or less in both
English and Mathematics over six (6) consecutive terms
preceding the Academic Year of the examination
(ii) Pupils have missed a significant portion of their instruction,
due to:
(a) trauma or illness;
(b) significant learning difficulties
(iii) The pupils who will be eleven (11) years, but under 12
years old at August 31 in the year of the examination and
are working in Class 3 with the nine (9) year old cohort
will be allowed to continue with that cohort and write the
examination with them in the following year. Pupils in this
category will not be eligible for a deferral on reaching
Class 4.

2.5. PARENTS/GUARDIANS ARE ADVISED THAT PUPILS,
WHETHER THEY WRITE THE EXAMINATION UNDER 11
YEARS OR DEFER WRITING IT FOR ONE YEAR, WILL BE
ABLE TO WRITE THE EXAMINATION ONLY ONCE.

2.6. Parents/guardians should consult with the principal if they wish

their children to:

(i) write the examination at an early age; or

(ii) defer the examination for one (1) year.

(iii) be exempted from writing the BSSEE.

2.7. The relevant application forms in respect of No.2.6 above should

be returned by parent/guardian to the principal.

2.8. Principals should not issue Choice of School Forms to

students seeking early sitting until a final decision has been
made by the Ministry of Education.
Page 
PARTIAL ZONING

3.0 The previous system of allocation to secondary schools frequently re-

sulted in:

(i) children taking two or more buses to get to and from school;
(ii) the breakdown of communities;
(iii) unpunctuality and the loss of teaching time;
(iv) tiredness and lack of concentration on the part of the pupils;
(v) difficulty in participating in extra curricular activities;
(vi) the distribution of pupils on a highly unequal basis; and
(vii) children leaving for school from as early as six (6) in the morning.

3.1. The system of partial zoning which is currently in operation will be contin-
ued. For this purpose the island is divided into three zones. Each second-
ary school will be required to take at least 30% of its students from within
its zone. The remaining 70% of its intake will be drawn from any where in
the island, depending on the choices made by parents/guardians and the
marks scored by the pupils.

(i) Springer Memorial will admit girls from all three zones.
(ii) St. Leonard’s Boys’ will admit boys from all three zones.
