Education Ministry still to announce decisions on CXC exams, NGSA

Candidates preparing to sit this year’s CXC exams and the NGSA are still awaiting word from the Ministry of Education about when the exams will be written and what changes to expect.

On Friday May 8, 2020, CARICOM’s Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) – Education granted approval for the administration of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) assessments.

The Ministry of Education in Guyana is yet to inform teachers, candidates and their parents about its decision for the examination process, which has been modified and involves the administration of Paper 1 (Multiple Choice Assessment), School Based Assessments, and, where applicable, additional assessment components along with appropriate modelling accounting for historical data and teacher-predicted information.
