As the country awaits a decision by the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) on whether it will postpone scheduled assessments, Minister of Education Priya Manickchand yesterday said that the government is open to giving students more time.
While giving an update yesterday on the reopening of schools, Manickchand reported in a video posted on the ministry’s Facebook page that CXC is currently re-examining a decision that was made in January of this year.
“We have very many options on the table that could possibly change that timeline,” she said in reference to the examinations, which are currently scheduled for June and July.
