The End of Elementary School

HAFF does not have an elementary school. But HAFF does have a large enough venue that for the last few years, BTI has hosted the National Certificate Exam. Before a student can enter secondary school they must pass this exam and earn their Certificate.
This year, the third one BTI has hosted, there were 115 students from about 5 local elementary schools who took the Certificate Exam at HAFF. Both days of the exam, Tuesday and Wednesday of this past week, the day started with prayer in the school yard.
Then there was a flag raising ceremony with the singing of the Haitian National Anthem.
The students were given their directions as to which of 4 rooms they were to enter.
And for 2 days, the students answered questions about French, Math, Social Sciences and other subjects. Some of these students will be 7th graders at BTI next year. Posted by Picasa
