According to media reports, a law firm in Barbados has agreed to represent the affected students.
The so-called Group of Concerned Parents of Barbados announced in a press release issued on Monday that it had secured the services of Aegis Chambers, which will represent the students interests “free of costs, with only nominal charges for disbursements”.
The Group said it had decided on legal action against CXC after getting no satisfaction from the Council about its concerns about exam grading and in the subsequent grade review process.
Following protests by students region wide, triggered by concerns about inconsistencies and discrepancies in the CSEC and CAPE grades, CXC agreed to a review. However, some students have expressed dissatisfaction with the re-grading.

The much-anticipated report from the Independent Review Team (IRT), appointed by the Chairman of CXC to review the ensuing regional outcry over the results of the 2020 CXC administered CAPE and CSEC examinations, failed to adequately and clearly address the many queries raised by students, parents, teachers and other concerned persons.
The Report is written in a style which cannot be easily understood by the same groups raising the queries, and considerable effort is needed to make sense of its contents.
