The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has\u00a0announced that all regional CXC examinations will now be held in July 2020. This became\u00a0necessary, due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
Therefore, CSEC, CAPE and CCSLC students will sit their exams in July 2020 and results are\u00a0scheduled for release during the first week of September 2020. This decision was taken at the First\u00a0Emergency Virtual Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) \u2013\u00a0Education, on May 8, 2020.<\/p>\n
Registrar of the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), Dr. Wayne Wesley, explained the\u00a0administration of the modified examination process, for the award of valid grades. This modification\u00a0includes the administration of mainly two papers: Paper 01 (Multiple Choice Assessment) and the\u00a0Paper 03 (School Based Assessment where applicable). He indicated that appropriate quality\u00a0assurance and calibration measures will be instituted by the CXC, to preserve the integrity of the\u00a0examinations.<\/p>\n
The Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) also agreed to have Examinations\u00a0administered via an e-Testing modality, in countries with the necessary infrastructure. However, in\u00a0instances where there are infrastructural challenges, candidates would be allowed to sit paper-based\u00a0examinations.<\/p>\n
The proposal by the CXC, in collaboration with the UWI, to accept CAPE Unit 1, plus previous\u00a0results, to serve as matriculation to UWI for the next academic year, was accepted by the Council.<\/p>\n
The Council also adopted Public Health Guidelines for the reopening of schools, as presented in the\u00a0report from Executive Director of the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), Dr. Joy St. John.\u00a0Informed by CARPHA\u2019s recommendations and strategies for the safe, phased opening of schools,\u00a0Ministries of Education, guided by national Health officials, will take the necessary steps to ensure\u00a0that students, teachers and staff can safely prepare for the July sitting of all the CXC examinations.\u00a0More information will be provided in the upcoming week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
