Students sitting their oral exams will have a timetable which will ensure that they are not all congregated in the school compound in keeping with the coronavirus safety measures.
After being postponed by the Caribbean Examinations Council, the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) oral examinations started on Tuesday, June 7. In order for students to sit these exams while following COVID-19 safety protocols, teachers have established a scheduled/timetable which students are following to ensure that too many persons are not gathered in the school compound unless they need to be.
One teacher told Stabroek News that ordinarily, students would follow a list which has their names in alphabetical order to write the exam. By using the class register, teachers were able to select a small number of students to go to school and do the exam thereby reducing the risk of infection.
