Fight against CXC continues
Article by May 4, 2021
Separate petitions opposing the Caribbean Examinations Council’s (CXC) current CSEC and CAPE examination structure for 2021 have so far garnered almost 30 000 signatures.
Paula-Anne Moore, the spokesperson and coordinator of the Group of Concerned Parents in Barbados, believes the large number of signatures is an indication of the disapproval across the region with the regional body’s decision not to adjust its examinations in light of the difficult situations confronting students due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A petition started by the Caribbean Union of Teachers has so far attracted 4 978 signatures, another supported by the Caribbean Coalition for Exam Redress has garnered 1 035 signatures, while a petition reportedly launched by students has so far reached 22,905 of its targeted 25,000 signatures.
