PUPILS who would have missed Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) exams due to quarantine will be able to write the exam next year.
CXC in an emailed statement to AZPNews.com on Monday stated, “In-school candidates who may miss an examination due to quarantine should report the matter immediately to their school while private candidates should report the matter to the CXC® Local Registrar (the Overseas Examination Commission in the case of Jamaica).
“A formal report must be submitted to CXC, along with verification from the Quarantine Centre, Ministry of Health or relevant authority in their territory. Candidates can seek to sit the respective subject in 2022.”
On Monday at the Ministry of Health’s virtual press conference, County Medical Officer of Health for St Andrews/St David Dr Allana Best said some pupils were in quarantine due to personally contracting Covid-19 or was a primary contact of persons with Covid-19. She said the health team at the Ministry of Education would be liaising with each county providing information on those pupils.
