General Secretary of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) Coretta McDonald has said that deadlines must be adhered to moving forward to avoid the discrepancies that occurred with the results from the 2020 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) and Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations.
Following the Caribbean Examinations Council’s release of the reviewed 2020 CAPE and CSEC results, McDonald told this newspaper that going forward, Guyana has to make sure that the scores are correctly entered and stick to deadlines. She added that students who might be lagging behind with handing in the work need to be encouraged to do so and the work needs to be checked and completed so that scores can be submitted. Additionally, she said that the work has to be presented to show that it was actually done.
