The Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training has come under fire for reportedly circulating a test to first form students which has been described as “distasteful and invasive” by some parents.The exam, which was administered on Monday at secondary schools across the island, was purported to be a “pre-test on Computer Science” formulated by an organisation called code.org.However, parents complained to Barbados TODAY that their children were quizzed on their sexuality, gender identity, substance use and abuse as well as personal information about their parents.The pre-test contained close to 300 questions and lasted for two hours.
