Staff at the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) should be moving into spanking new facilities at Pine Plantation, St Michael, soon.
During a brief address at the Council’s Appreciation and Awards Luncheon at The Crane Hotel, St Philip, yesterday, Minister of Education Ronald Jones told employees they should be in the new facilities by the end of January next year.
Noting that the facilities took about two and a half years to complete, Jones said the building has been finished for some time, but the leasing arrangement between the National Insurance Scheme, which built the facility, and the Ministry of Housing and Lands had to be sorted out first before the move could be made.
“There were some dollar signs that appeared a bit too much, a bit too wide. So therefore it took a little while to negotiate the kind of reality that we wanted to achieve, but that is now completed . . . . I don’t think we should go past the end of January before we have that facility for the use of the Caribbean Examinations Council,” he said to thunderous applause. (YB)
