2018 Ranking of the Top 5 Best Secondary Schools in Turk and Caicos Islands

This article seeks to outline the top 5 best secondary schools in Turks and Caicos Islands.

Education is mandatory for all children ages 4-16 residing legally in the islands. The government provides schooling for these age groups free of charge. In 2014/15, 12.6% of the national budget was spent on education.

There are currently over 6,000 students attending public and private schools combined. The Turks and Caicos government operates fifteen public schools across the islands: ten primary and five secondary schools.

The primary programme caters to the first eight years of a child’s school life. The secondary programme catering to the last five years.

Tertiary education is available through the TCI Community College, which has campuses on both Grand Turk and Providenciales.

In addition to public schools, as of the end of the 2015 academic year, there were 33 private institutions including 26 preprimary/primary and seven high schools.

On the pre- and primary school level, the system is determined by the Ministry of Education. There has been a recent revision of the curriculum which commenced in January 2016. Results are currently being piloted at several local schools.

The secondary-school level is based on the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate, or CSEC. The CSEC examination is a regional test completed by high school students in the Caribbean. At public high schools from 2012 to 2015, over 90% of students graduated.
