With the nation’s students now sitting the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC’s) written examinations, high school principals across the island are hoping the exams will go smoothly.
This is the third year students are undertaking the exams, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The exams started yesterday (May 23) and are slated to end on July 1.
The results are expected to be released in August or early September.
Principal of the St. Hugh’s High School in St. Andrew, Andrea Bryan Hughes says the exams started off well.
The school had recently reverted to the online teaching and learning modality to facilitate deep-cleaning following COVID-19 infections.
However, Mrs. Bryan Hughes said there has been no new infection since then, and candidates are adhering to strict COVID-19 protocols.
