Don’t expect parents of Barbadian students to give up championing the cause of their kids any time soon.
The concerned parents of scores of students hit the streets outside the headquarters of the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) yesterday but postponed another planned demonstration today.
Meanwhile, CXC chairman Professor Sir Hilary Beckles announced yesterday that the council, with the help of an independent body, would soon review the CXC COVID-19-induced revised systems.
“Management at CXC has been impressive in the delivery of the July 2020 regional examinations within the context of the COVID-19 logistics nightmare and crippling global doubt about revised examinations systems and procedures. . . . It was anticipated that given these specific challenges, a period of review and possible revisions would follow, consistent with the regulations of the council. It has been agreed, therefore, that an independent review team will shortly begin this work and present a report for discussion with relevant stakeholders,” Sir Hilary said. (SB)
