Dr Didacus Jules

By Dr Didacus Jules

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the establishment of the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), It is a significant watershed, perhaps insufficiently observed in the Caribbean.  The anniversary is being celebrated under the theme ‘Celebrating the Accomplishments; Con-tinuing the Journey.’ This speaks volumes about the vision that continues to drive the organisation.

The move to establish the Caribbean Examinations Council was a bold move in 1973 and a very strong assertion of the confidence of visionary leaders in our capacity to take responsibility for our own destiny.
