Jamaica is again at the centre of a probe in relation to this year’s sitting of the Caribbean Examinations Council CXC exams.

It was revealed on Wednesday, that fireproof cabinets, containing examination papers for nine subjects, including some scheduled to be administered this week, were stolen from a school, in Montego Bay, St. James.

The matter is being investigated by the Jamaica Constabulary Force JCF.

CXC said it is in constant contact with the Ministry of Education in Jamaica and an update was shared with the ministries of education across the region.

It said the course of action would have been determined and communicated with the ministries of education, yesterday.

This is the second incident in as many months, involving CXC exams.

Last month, CXC investigated reports that the CSEC Mathematics paper II was leaked.

The source of the leak was identified in Kingston, Jamaica.
