MOE paying settlement in GSAT case

  The Ministry of Education said it will be entering into discussions for a settlement with the family of the top female performer in last year's Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT).

In addition, Government lawyers will not be appealing last week's court ruling in favour of the 11-year-old school girl.

Lawyer representing the Ministry of Education Nicole Foster-Pusey disclosed on RJR's current affairs discussion programme Beyond the Headlines Monday evening that the Ministry had accepted liability.

She said the next step will be to reach a settlement.

Last year, the Education Ministry denied the student a scholarship claiming she had been exposed to the 2007 GSAT exam papers.          

As a result, she was denied the Scotia Bank Foundation scholarship, awarded to the country's top performers.
