Georgetown – The Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) Council of Human and Social Development (COHSOD) has suggested that the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) review recommendations it has put forward to address concerns related to the administration of this year’s exams.
COHSOD met in a special session on Tuesday to examine those concerns, which arose out of recommendations made to CXC at a meeting of the COHSOD in March.
“COHSOD, in noting that the authority to determine changes to the administration of the examinations rests with the CXC, proposed that the CXC should undertake a review of the recommendations made by COHSOD, and stakeholders, at its 28th Special Meeting,” it said in a statement issued after the meeting.
