Chief Education Officer Shirley Wahler said that in 2012, 49 per cent of Year 12 students, or 168 pupils, leaving the government system achieved five or more Level 2 passes, compared with 45 per cent last year and 27 per cent five years ago.
Year 12 students at the Laymen E. Scott Senior High School in Cayman Brac continued to outperform the national average, with 70 per cent achieving five Level 2 passes, compared to 65 per cent last year.
"It's important to look back to where we have come from, to appreciate the value of what has been achieved over the last few years," said Ms Wahler.
Education Minister Rolston Anglin, welcomed the results, saying: "I am delighted that our children continue to improve and take advantage of their opportunities."
The minister added that national campaigns had been conducted to implement policies tackling issues, such as the large number of students entered for only a few, or lower level examinations.
