Chairman of the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC), Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, says the organisation is a “little surprised” by the recent concerns raised by UNICEF over the format of this year’s suite of regional exams.
He also suggested the international body raised an alarm “without first having all of the information at their fingertips”.
Speaking at a virtual press conference held yesterday, Sir Hilary stressed that the regional testing body was on the same page with UNICEF, as CXC was dedicated to the “principles of fairness”.
He said the recent changes made by the CXC were testimony to their endeavor to account for the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the volcanic eruption in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
