The Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA) was introduced in place of the National Common\u00a0 Entrance Examination (CEE) for the first time in 2012. The CPEA is a measure of the key skills\u00a0 required by students exiting the primary school system. It involves continuous assessment of\u00a0 students\u2019 performance throughout Grades 5 and 6. Students are therefore assessed for formative,\u00a0 summative and diagnostic purposes. The CPEA has been developed by the Caribbean\u00a0 Examinations\u2019 Council (CXC) in collaboration with the Ministries of Education throughout the region.<\/p>\n

Due to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, in early 2020, Grenada was unable to\u00a0 accommodate students for the sitting of the external component of the Caribbean Primary Exit\u00a0 Assessment (CPEA) in May of that year. However, the Ministry of Education, Human Resource\u00a0 Development, Religious Affairs, and Information utilized the CPEA internal assessment scores\u00a0 and the Minimum Competency Test (MCT) Grade 5 scores to assist in the assignment of students\u00a0 to a secondary school, in a ratio of 2:1, respectively.<\/p>\n
