Kingston – Minister of Education Fayval Williams has disclosed that her ministry has been in dialogue with the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) and has conducted consultations with key local stakeholders on modifications to the administration of the 2021 examinations.
The consultations were held against the background of issues surrounding the examinations last year, including inconsistencies and discrepancies in the exam grades which has triggered legal action in some Caribbean islands.
Five options have been presented.
“The options were evaluated as valid and reliable and should not affect the credibility of the grade attained by the students. It will, however, require more work on the part of CXC for the preparation and administration of the exams,” Williams said.
