The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) will offer online and paper-based options for 2020 examinations, which it hopes to administer in July with a final timetable expected to be published next week.
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted educational programmes worldwide and during a webinar on Thursday, CXC officials unveiled plans for the administering of the up-coming Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), which are normally held in May and June in countries throughout the Caribbean.
However, for this year, the exams are planned for July. During the webinar, officials advocated for online testing throughout the region and highlighted that three options are available.
