The Caribbean Examinations Council CXC has granted an extension for the submission of School-based Assessments SBAs for some students in Jamaica who will sit the June/July 2021 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate CSEC examinations.
Education Minister Fayval Williams, made the announcement during a virtual Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate CSEC/CAPE virtual town hall on Thursday.
She noted that the students who will benefit from the extension are those sitting industrial technology, home economics and science-based subjects that will require them to be in school to get their lab work completed.
She informed that CXC, in its letter to the Ministry granting the extension, said that at this stage, given the challenges, it will facilitate a phased submission of SBAs.
