IT IS generally considered that girls perform better academically than boys.
At St Cyprian’s Boys’ School principal Dave Layne is one of the teachers working to reverse that belief.
A quietly confident Layne was at The St Michael School, where his students sat the Barbados Secondary Schools’ Entrance Examination.
“The boys are adequately prepared; I am certain of that beyond any shadow of a doubt. We did the usual – reinforcing the concepts and testing – and we had a mock exam exchange with the People’s Cathedral,” he said.
After the four-hour exam, the boys rushed out to their parents but formed a ring around a smiling Layne, who advised them not to consider the exam as too easy, adding that he fed off their excitement. (CA)
