The Ministry of Education, Youth and Information says portfolio Minister Fayval Williams has written to the Chairman of the Caribbean Examination Council CXC, Sir Hillary Beckles requesting a thorough investigation into several anomalies that have been brought to the ministry’s attention.
This follows widespread backlash and outrage from students after the Tuesday, September 22 release of the results in which many students received what they labelled as “inaccurate” results.
Several results also came back “ungraded” or “absent”.
The ministry said the minister has also sought to ascertain from the council, the circumstances that led to results being sent directly to students before schools and the ministry.
This, the minister said, prevented the ministry from identifying, in advance, anomalies or errors in results.
