The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has accepted full responsibility for the controversial Computer Science test that was administered to first form students in Barbados on Monday.In a press release issued tonight, the IDB admitted that even though the Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training objected to certain questions being included on the test, the test was still disseminated to students in its original format.And while the Ministry of Education came under fire for sanctioning the test that was said to be commissioned by code.org, the IDB admitted its fault in not adhering to the ministry’s demands to remove the specific questions.The IDB said the questions were subsequently removed from the test.“The Inter-American Development Bank expresses regret that a survey administered by the Bank to children in the Barbados secondary school system has offended many Barbadians.”Irate parents of some of the students who took the test on Monday told Barbados TODAY that their children were subjected to “distasteful and invasive” questions in the Computer Science pre-test, including some that quizzed them on their sexuality, gender identity, substance use and abuse as well as personal information about their parents.
