BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - IN a three-phased approach, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) will be releasing all exam results by the middle of October.
In a statement issued last evening (Sept. 9), the regional body disclosed that, like many other institutions, it was forced to modify its strategy for examinations due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The start of the examinations was delayed by two weeks after consultations with regional governments and other key stakeholders from across the region. And against that backdrop, it was revealed that the results would be released in early to mid-October.
CXC is working assiduously to minimise the impact of the delays occasioned by the disruption of COVID-19 protocols on the logistical operations associated with the marking, grading and release of examinations results.
According to CXC, the release would be done first to the Ministries of Education across the region, then a joint meeting would be held with the Ministry of Education before the grades are released to candidates on or before October 15, 2021.
In the case of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the release dates for candidates would be on or before October 20, 2021.
CXC team is in contact with regional and international higher education institutions to communicate this timing to minimise the possibility of students being disadvantaged during the matriculation process.
