CXC issued a statement today, 31 May 2019, regarding the exam breaches. There was a problem with the CSEC Mathematics exam taken in May as centres in Trinidad were accused of irregularities as detailed in this article.
Rumors were running rampant that students may be forced to resit Mathematics May/June 2019. Parents created a petition asking that students NOT be forced to resit the exams.
CXC issued a statement on their Facebook page indicating that students will NOT be asked to resit the Mathematics exam from May/June 2019. See below for the full statement.
Update – Statement from the Registrar of The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC®) regarding exam breach investigations:
After receiving written reports, examining other material and following due diligence it appears that there was no breach of examination papers before or during the time of the examinations to this date. However, it is clear that there was lapse supervision in some examination centres. That has been addressed.
Any irregularities in any centre will be addressed as is done after every examination.
As such there will be no re-sit of any CXC® examination which has already been taken.
The Registrar wishes to give the assurance that the principle of fairness will be paramount in our dealings with these unfortunate incidents.
The final CSEC exam is June 7 2019.
