The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has challenged itself to have students sit all its examinations digitally over the next three to five years.
This was put forward by registrar and chief executive officer of the council Dr Wayne Wesley during a press conference held in Jamaica and streamed regionally via Zoom yesterday.
In a wide-ranging session, Wesley reassured stakeholders that CXC understood its assignment to the people of the Caribbean as it provided globally-recognised certification services “to advance the
futures of learners of all ages . . . executing this mission for over 50 years as a Treaty Organisation of CARICOM”.
“It is with this sense of certainty and confidence that over 10 000 candidates are currently sitting the January 2026 CSEC [Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate] examinations . . . . We are pleased to say that we are administering these January examinations, employing our digital e-assessment and hybrid-assessment approach. It is our intention to offer all exams digitally in the next three to five years,” he said, while noting the importance of inclusivity to people with disabilities. (JS)
