According to the source, there was more competition to get into the top schools this year. "It seems as if the scores are a bit higher this year so it becomes that much harder to get into the traditional high schools. However most parents and students are satisfied with where they have been placed. The few who are unhappy are those who are placed in the same school," the source said.
Meanwhile, the ministry's director of communications Colin Blair said less than 10 out of the more than 800 primary, all-age, and primary and junior high schools had not yet gone for their results at the ministry's regional offices up to yesterday afternoon.
