CSEC, CAPE exams delayed by 3 weeks

The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) on Wednesday held an emergency meeting to discuss several matters related to the regional examinations.
Coming out of that meeting, a decision was made to delay the start of the written and practical components of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE).
According to a release from the Education Ministry, the examinations will be delayed by three weeks, with the new start date being May 23, 2022, and end on July 1, 2022.
Results are expected to be released in late August or early September 2022. The delay in the start of the written and practical examinations would not affect the oral examinations, which have already begun.
The Council has also decided to give a two-week extension for the submission of School-Based Assessments (SBA). And students who have already submitted their SBAs can use the additional time to review their work and resubmit.
As had happened in the 2021 examinations, CXC would release the broad topics that would be covered in the Paper Two examinations. Those topics would be released within the next two weeks.
