BARBADOS-EXAMS-CXC issues new timetable for CAPE in Trinidad & Tobago

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC - The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) on Friday issued a new timetable for the resumption of Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) in Trinidad and Tobago.

Communication Studies Paper 02 would now be offered on June 16 while the other examination papers would commence on June 23 and completed July 25, the CXC said in a statement.

The Council took the decision to replace all CAPE papers originally scheduled between May 12 and June 13 in Trinidad and Tobago with new examination papers, the statement said.

It added that the CAPE results for Trinidad and Tobago would be released on August 16, five days later than the originally scheduled release date.

“The Council is of the view that under the circumstances, this is the best possible option to ensure the integrity of its examination,” CXC Registrar Dr. Didacus Jules said.

“The Council assures the public of its strong commitment to providing the region with examinations of the highest quality which are internationally recognised,” he added.

CXC was forced to stop all exams in Trinidad and Tobago after it was discovered that a breach of the system led to examination papers being sold to students ahead of the tests.
