This year, the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), like many other institutions, has had to modify its strategy for examinations due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following consultation with regional governments and other key stakeholders from across the region, it was agreed in May 2021 to delay the sitting of the regional examinations by a further two weeks to allow more time for candidates to prepare for their exams. Exams commenced on 28 June 2021 and were completed on 30 July 2021.
CXC wishes to remind its stakeholders that results for the June/July 2021 examinations will be released in early to mid-October. CXC is working assiduously to minimize the impact of the delays occasioned by the disruption of COVID-19 protocols on the logistical operations associated with the marking, grading and release of examinations results.
The release of results will be a three-tiered approach:
• Firstly – Release to the Ministries of Education
• Secondly – Joint meeting with the Ministry of Education
• Thirdly – Release to candidates on or before 15 October 2021
St Vincent and the Grenadines
• Release to the Ministry of Education
• Release to candidates on or before 20 October 2021
The CXC team is in contact with regional and international higher education institutions to
communicate this timing to minimize the possibility of students being disadvantaged during the
matriculation process.
