BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The highly reputable Caribbean Examination Council (CXC), based in Barbados, has categorically denied any reports on social media suggesting a leak of “an examination paper.”
Earlier this week, the CXC’s Registrar and chief executive officer, Dr Wayne Wesley, told students from across the region that they have been prepared ‘to advance the economic competitiveness” of the Caribbean.
In a brief message marking the start of the May/June 2024 examinations, Wesley “It is that time of year again when candidates across the region are allowed to demonstrate the competencies they have achieved.”
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 advise candidates that this is a hoax. CXC frowns upon attempts by persons to spread false information and create panic for candidates preparing for examinations,” it added.
In a previous incident in May last year, CXC demonstrated its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its examinations by promptly identifying 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.
It also advises regional governments on education. The CXC also admits external entries from St Maarten and Saba of the Netherlands Antilles.
CXC offers a comprehensive suite of qualifications to meet the region’s needs, namely CSEC, Caribbean Certificate of Secondary Level Competence (CCSLC), Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ), Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE), and the CXC Associate Degree (CXC-AD).
