(CXC) The Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) wishes to emphatically refute a report which was circulating in the regional media on Friday 2 September, claiming that there was a leak of CXC examination papers at a school in St Lucia and that the Council is investigating this matter.
At no time has there been any breach or compromise of the 2011 examinations in St. Lucia or in any other CXC Participating Territory. CXC is therefore not aware nor is CXC involved in any investigation in St Lucia.
CXC is therefore appalled that regional media houses would publish a story of this magnitude without seeking verification or clarification of the alleged breach and investigation.
Dr Didacus Jules, CXC Registrar and Chief Executive Officer has been in contact with the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education in St Lucia to ascertain the source of the erroneous claim.
CXC wishes to re-assure the region that over the last four years it has put in place significant measures to enhance the security of its examination papers.
