March is the month that brings anxiety to school children and their parents across Jamaica. It's when pupils aged 11 or over sit their Grade Six Achievement Test, better known as the GSAT. Some 40,000 students sit the exam every year. For most, the worry is because they and their families feel their entire future depends on it. In Jamaica, like many places, competition to get into certain secondary schools is fierce, the GSAT exams place pupils into their top five choices by performance - and that's where Edufocal steps in.
