PEP Pressure on 11-Year-Olds | Jamaica News

An eleven-year-old shouldn’t be stressed out over a school exam—yet that’s exactly what the Primary Exit Profile has become. Instead of easing the transition to secondary school, it’s fueling anxiety, sleepless nights, and a broken culture of ranking. Families chase elite schools as if they’re the only path to success, ignoring that real growth happens in character, creativity, and grit—not just test scores. The fix? Stop relying on one exam and start valuing kids’ full potential through continuous assessment. And stop pretending “choice” means anything when only a few schools are truly great—true choice comes when every school is excellent, no matter where it’s located. Education should build confidence, not anxiety.
