The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC®) is back-peddling and basically rescinding its correspondence to ministries of education and principals that some technical and vocational subjects were being dropped.
Just days after the initial memo, CXC® issued a fresh statement saying that it intends to follow due process on this and hold discussions before axing the subjects for a period or indefinitely.
The statement said, “CXC® is aware of the concerns being expressed by our valued stakeholders, based on the premature release of correspondence addressed to the Ministries of Education concerning syllabus suspension.
The examination board called the situation regrettable, saying that it understands that it would have caused anxiety among their key stakeholder groups.
In order to address the matter, CXC® has scheduled a meeting with the Ministers of Education and is expected to provide a full update to the public, through a press release, thereafter.
