CXC defends results, rules out exams probe

Saying it was satisfied with the marking of test scripts for this year’s exams, the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) yesterday maintained it would only conduct grade reviews that are requested through its official process or via a Ministry of Education.

“We have agreed and will be working with Ministers of Education to provide clarity in a fulsome way [including] detailed reports on concerns being raised,” CXC Registrar Dr. Wayne Wesley said during a virtual press conference yesterday.

This was also confirmed by Minister of Education Priya Manickchand, who announced on her Face-book page yesterday that Guyana would soon be making an official request for review of the scripts of schools.
