The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) is being called on to publicly release details of its grading system and other initiatives it has put in place to ensure there is no recurrence of the controversy that took place last year.

As a result of  COVID-19, CXC only graded students on the multiple-choice Paper 1 and school-based assessments (SBAs).

However, after the release of the results in September, many students said there were discrepancies. Following protests across the region and an independent review, numerous papers were remarked and some students received minor increases.
