The Queen’s College Alumni Association is calling for a swift resolution to the controversy over Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) exam results.
Students in Barbados and across the region have been protesting their results in the 2020 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) and Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations after preliminary results were released on September 22.
They expressed dissatisfaction with their grades, launched petitions and staged protests at CXC headquarters.
