It’s PEP results season! The Ministry of Education will be publishing all Primary Exit Profile (PEP) assessment results this June 2024. The following are the most up-to-date PEP Bursary sources in Jamaica. The kids have done their part, now it’s your turn to do your part and win some FREE MONEY!
Financial Aid Help is Here
The Education Ministry on Wednesday opened an online portal. The portal is for the registration of parents and guardians for their children’s PEP results. This move follows this year’s Primary Exit Profile (PEP) assessment.
Acting Chief Education Officer in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information Dr Kasan Troupe, told the Jamaica Information Service that students’ placements and scores will be available to parents from 4 p.m on Friday.
The results will, however, be available to schools earlier.

“Over 39,000 parents and guardians would have been provided with a welcome letter. The letter will bear login credentials and directions on how to activate their accounts,” Troupe said.
She said, the login credentials were sent to primary-level institutions and should be distributed to all parents before Thursday, June 25. Parents will be required to visit the PEP results online portal using the unique login credentials provided and follow the instructions.
They will be prompted to create a new password to ensure confidentiality. They will only be able to access information for their child or ward. Troupe has sought to assure that the necessary mechanisms will be in place to ensure that the system can handle the volume of hits from people trying to access PEP scores and placements.
