Advocates for the re-mark of the Caribbean Examination Council’s (CXCs) 2020 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) and Caribbean Secondary Entrance Certificate (CSEC) examinations are continuing their efforts six months after grades were first released.
In a joint statement from student and parent advocates from Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Barbados, the group said they still have not received the justice they have been fighting for.

An independent education consultant today called for major redress for thousands of Caribbean students, teachers and parents who have persistently decried the results of the 2020 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) and Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) administered by the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC)
Dr Michael Clarke, an overseas-based Barbadian, has endorsed the findings of the Independent Review Team (IRT) commissioned by Chairman of the regional examining Body Professor Sir Hilary Beckles to review the process and outcomes of this year’s tests.
“The Independent Review Team’s Report indicates that the resulting scores based on the changes in assessment structure and grading were neither reliable, valid, nor fair, and as such major redress is required,” Clarke told an online press conference held by the Caribbean Coalition for CXC 2020 Redress today.
