CXC
Over 35,000 students are slated to sit this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations which will begin tomorrow, Monday, June 28, 2021 two weeks later than the previously announced June 14, start date.
This compared to over 58,000 students who registered to sit the CSEC examinations in 2020.
After more than a year of disruption within the education sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students will for the second time sit the CSEC examinations, and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE).
For last year’s sitting, education ministries across the region called for investigations into what was termed ‘wide-scale anomalies’ regarding results.
According to the president of the Jamaica Teacher’s Association, Jasford Gabriel, similar challenges are again anticipated.
More than 7-thousand CSEC students and some 300 CAPE students have deferred, this Gabriel believes will place more burden on the system going forward.
