(Barbados Nation) Barbadian students will be taking their issues with the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) and its controversial 2020 revised testing and grading methodology to court.
Spokesperson and coordinator of the Group of Concerned Parents of Barbados, Paula-Anne Moore, announced yesterday that Aegis Law Chambers will be representing the group pro bono.
In a release, she urged the hundreds of students who still have discrepancies with their first grades and second remarked Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) grades to contact the firm via email.
“Since September 22, 2020, students and their parents in Barbados and across the region have suffered the inexcusable fallout of CXC CSEC and CAPE results, which were manifestly flawed, and which has occasioned mental angst, as well as material dislocation, in the form of loss of scholarship opportunities, university acceptance, inter alia”, she said.
