BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Barbados-based Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has initiated a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding a significant issue that occurred with the distribution of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Principles of Accounts Paper 02, at specific centers.
“CXC fully acknowledges that any uncertainty around examinations can cause anxiety. We want to reassure candidates and parents that these matters are being handled with the utmost urgency. Once our investigations are concluded, the necessary action will be taken,” the CXC stated, providing strong reassurance without disclosing further details.
Last week, CXC issued a statement denying reports on social media that “an examination paper” had been leaked.
In its statement, CXC said it “has been made aware of information being circulated on social media, suggesting that an examination paper has been leaked.
“CXC wishes to strongly advise candidates that this is a malicious hoax. CXC condemns any attempts by individuals to spread false information and create unnecessary panic for candidates preparing for examinations,” it firmly added.
In May last year, CXC identified Jamaica as the country where its Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Math Paper 02 examination paper had been leaked.
Established in 1972, the CXC is an institution that provides regional and internationally recognized secondary school leaving examinations relevant to the region’s needs, assists in Common Entrance and other types of examinations, produces teaching materials, and trains teachers to use the CXC syllabi.
