The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) will continue to moderate school-based assessments (SBAs) from all examination centres instead of selecting a few.
That’s the word from CXC registrar and chief executive officer Dr Wayne Wesley, who said yesterday that from now no school would go unmoderated.
“That exercise would have caused us to demonstrate, our teachers to pay more attention to their SBAs and how SBAs are graded and submitted because now all SBAs, all centres, would be looked at,” he said.
“I want to say that this year, as we continue the expanded moderation process for SBAs, which involves moderation of teacher-awarded marks across all centres, and subject examinations that when we look at the SBA performance for candidates in the secondary sitting indicated a marked improvement in a number of the subjects – and this is for St Vincent,” he said.
