PARENTS of grade six students are fuming as a result of incorrect information disseminated by the Ministry of Education regarding the portal on which they should have registered on Wednesday in order to access the Primary Exit Profile (PEP) placement results at 4:00 pm today.

On Wednesday, acting Chief Education Officer Dr Kasan Troupe told JIS News that the special parent portal, called the DEAMS Performance Information System (DPIS), could be accessed via the link www.parent.dpisonline.com as of 5:00 pm that evening.

On accessing the correct portal, parents were again set back, as to complete the registration and change the password, for security purposes, an activation code was required.

The Ministry of Education yesterday assured parents that the system had been stress-tested to ensure it stands up to the flood of parents and guardians who would access it at 4:00 pm today.

Acknowledging the challenges parents had experienced registering on the portal, the ministry said in a release yesterday that the issues are being addressed and would not affect the release of results today.
