The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) began its 40th Anniversary celebrations with a series of Interfaith and Thanksgiving Services across the region.
Throughout the year 2013, CXC will host a series of activities to celebrate the significant milestone. Individual member countries of the CXC will also hold their own commemorative exercises.
Some of the key activities include the opening of the new CXC Headquarters in Barbados; two Visual Arts exhibitions – in Dominica and in Jamaica; honouring of 40 CXC stalwarts; a 40th Anniversary lecture; special staff appreciation function and the publication of two special issues of the Caribbean Examiner magazine.
The Caribbean Examinations Council was established in 1972 under Agreement among Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Governments. The Council is empowered to regulate the conduct of examinations and prescribe the qualification requirements of candidates. The CXC is an examining body that provides educational certifications. The CXC examination hasd replaced the General Certificate of examination.
This year’s Annual Governance Meeting of the CXC will be held in Guyana from December 5-6, 2013. The CXC 40th Anniversary is being celebrated under the theme: ‘Celebrating the Accomplishments: Remembering the Journey.’
