EXAMINATION results for the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) exams 2021 will be released to candidates on or before October 15.
In a press release on Thursday, CXC stated that the release of the results will be a three-tiered approach.
For St Vincent and the Grenadines whose candidates suffered from adverse effects of Mt. Soufriere, candidates should get their results by October 20.
CXC stated that the Ministries of Education will receive the results first, a joint meeting with be held and then candidates will have access to the results.
CXC reminded the public that it has had to modify its strategy for examinations due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Following consultation with regional governments and other key stakeholders from across the region, it was agreed in May 2021 to delay the sitting of the regional examinations by a further two weeks to allow more time for candidates to prepare for their exams.
Exams commenced on June 28 and were completed on July 30.
CXC stated, “CXC is working assiduously to minimize the impact of the delays occasioned by the disruption of Covid-19 protocols on the logistical operations associated with the marking, grading and release of examinations results.”
CXC added, “The CXC team is in contact with regional and international higher education institutions to communicate this timing to minimise the possibility of students being disadvantaged during the matriculation process.”
