Regarding the unsatisfactory results for both CSEC and CAPE, the Caribbean Examinations Council has undertaken to provide an update at the earliest possible time.

The Ministry of Education is aware that individual students have approached CXC to review grades in a number of subject areas at both the CSEC and CAPE level. The Ministry of Education is of the view that these requests by students should be addressed expeditiously.

The Ministry of Education will provide a further update on this matter at the appropriate time.
