Student waits longingly for disbursement of refund

The Editor: I am requesting from the Ministry of Education the disbursement of my refund for the fees paid before I wrote my CXC "O" Levels examinations in June 2002.

I paid my fees and am in possession of an official receipt number BB198518 as proof of payment. I was successful in obtaining a passing grade in one of the subjects that I had paid for and therefore would appreciate being made cognisant of the status of the refund for the fees paid for this particular subject. I believe that I have followed the procedure that was dictated to me with respect to this procedure to obtain my refund but to date I have not been refunded and I am wondering as to whether or not I will ever be refunded. I had forwarded a letter dated Friday November 08, 2002 to the Officer in Charge, Examinations Section, Ministry of Education but this now appears to me to have been a wastage of paper since I am yet to be refunded. This is the recourse that I have chosen to take as it seems that the only way that things are done in this country is to embarrass the authorities into action. I do hope that this is the case with respect to my present predicament.
