Herbert Sabaroche served as an education minister<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is indeed pathetic, unfortunate and unacceptable to criticize CXC\u2019s Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) as our regional post-secondary examination while embracing CXC\u2019s CSEC.<\/p>\n

The Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) was established in1972. \u00a0CXC developed and introduced the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC – tested in Dominica in 1982 and formally introduced in 1985) to replace the British \u2018General Certificate of Education\u2019 (GCE \u2013 now GCSE) based on a mandate give to CXC by the then Ministers of Education. The decision was ratified by the then CARICOM Authority (Heads of Government).<\/p>\n

Today we Dominicans are elated with the performance of our secondary students, the teachers, parents and schools.\u00a0 We herald and congratulate the top students (20) and the others, especially the boys who made us feel so proud, and why not?<\/p>\n

The CSEC statistics for Dominica and presumable for each of the English speaking Caribbean countries (plus others like St. Martin, Suriname and Netherland Antilles) are sometimes excellent or require improvement.<\/p>\n

The 2010 Dominican CSEC statistics seem impressive \u2013 28 subject areas, 76.4% improved pass rate with Grades 1, 2 & 3, 1076 students writing 6377 subjects, 20 top performers.<\/p>\n

CXC provides statistics to show how well Dominica (and the other countries) and our students perform at the secondary level in comparison with last year and the past years from school to school, student to student and subject by subject as can be explained by our own prominent educationist and CXC Expert Catherine Daniel.<\/p>\n

CXC has therefore established in the region a home grown\u00a0 \u2018Examination Body\u2019 with a solid foundation, \u00a0a valid and reliable reputation, a track record that is comparable to the best in the world and that is accepted locally, regionally and internationally by all sectors and top universities and other institutions. All past graduates of the CSEC all over the world are proud of their achievements and can attest to this assessment.<\/p>\n

Have we in Dominica given thought to the fact that the parent CXC is the \u2018Educational Home Base\u2019 of not only both CSEC (Secondary) and CAPE (Post-Secondary) but also the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ)?<\/p>\n

Where do our top CSEC students go from here? Will they continue to be challenged among themselves with our localized State College Associate Degree? Or will the privileged few revert to the GCE A Levels that CAPE replaced in the region?<\/p>\n

It is indeed frightening and debasing not to accept CAPE as the significant Post- Secondary Examination at the Dominica State College (DSC).<\/p>\n

CAPE should be a must for our top performers of the CSEC at the DSC, just as it is for the top performers who move on to the community colleges and other post secondary institutions in the region (with the exception of Dominica).<\/p>\n

Like CSEC, CAPE was developed and introduced in response to another mandate given by CARICOM Ministers of Education. The CARICOM Ministers unanimously agreed that CAPE would be introduced as a matter of policy. Each territory was left only to decide on the date at which that determination would be made. The decision was ratified by the CARICOM Authority in 1984.<\/p>\n

The Ministers specifically requested from our cherished CXC \u2018a Regional Examination that would at least be equivalent in standard to the British based GCE A Levels (now Advance GCSE)\u2019.<\/p>\n

In addition, CAPE is mandated to have a broader scope of operations and relevance for \u2018students\u2019 acquisition, utilization and adaptation of common knowledge, skills and attitude in relation to Caribbean development, promoting the process of regional integration\u2019.<\/p>\n

CXC has reported (August, 2010) its satisfaction that CAPE has reached a significant milestone since it was launched 12 years ago. Dominica is yet to introduce CAPE at the State College.<\/p>\n

CXC\u2019s Web Site www.cxc.org<\/a> or http:\/\/www.cxc.org provides relevant and comparative statistical data over the years but it is critical to note here that \u2018for this year 25,776 candidates (62% females) registered for CAPE.\u00a0 The Unit Entries reached 101,643 as compared with only 985 Unit Entries submitted by 797 candidates in 1998. On par with the results of the last two years, 89% of the entries achieved the acceptable grades of CAPE (1 \u2013 v). CXC offered 46 CAPE Units – 44 two – unit courses and two 1 Unit Courses\u2019.<\/p>\n

Students, teachers, parents and in fact all of us who want to make a difference in enhancing the relevance and standard of performance of our Dominican secondary graduates let us inform ourselves\u00a0 with data that can help us make appropriate decisions.<\/p>\n

While some of us have the required data, CXC\u2019s Booklet (2003) in addition to the Web Site provides most of the answers in terms of \u2018how valid and reliable is CAPE?\u2019\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\n

– What are the vision, mission, goals \/ objectives of CAPE?<\/p>\n

– How is CAPE courses classified \/ structured?<\/p>\n

– How is CAPE courses developed?<\/p>\n

– WHAT are core \/ foundation courses and skills?<\/p>\n

– Who can take CAPE?<\/p>\n

– How can you benefit from CAPE qualifications to include the Associate Degree?<\/p>\n

– Does cape have regional and internationally recognition?<\/p>\n

– What are the main advantages \/ disadvantages of CAPE?<\/p>\n

In 2000 \/ 2001 the then CXC Registrar, Dr. Lucy Steward and other CXC Officials held several meetings with the Ministers and other Ministry Officials, however no commitment was given in terms of the timeframe to commence CAPE in Dominica.<\/p>\n

Max Andrew (May, 2003) a Senior Education Planner in the Ministry of Education, was delegated to provide a rationale for the introduction of CAPE at the State College. Following Andrew\u2019s conclusions and recommendations he stated:\u00a0 \u2018It is therefore being recommended that a policy decision be made to adopt CAPE as part of the Curriculum of the Dominica State College.\u2019<\/p>\n

In addition he emphasized that: \u2018There is absolutely no reason why CAPE cannot be taught together with the (Associate Degree (AD) Programme\u2019.<\/p>\n

Herbert Sabaroche (2006 & 2008) among others have continuously vocalized and documented recommendations to introduce CAPE in Dominica.<\/p>\n

Policy makers, educators and teachers and parents of more than 25,000 Caribbean students have the assurance and are demonstrating that CAPE is now operating on the solid foundation that CXC established.<\/p>\n

In Dominica there is the urgent and critical need for \u2018political direction\u2019 to introduce CAPE at the DSC to replace the traditional GCE A Levels and to augment the local Associate Degree and other programmes.<\/p>\n

The alternative can only be the heralded cry and revolutionary actions of Dominicans especially students, parents and teachers.<\/p>\n

There were top performers in the past and there will certainly be top CSEC performers like Dennis Guye, Denis Laurent, Liam Rolle, Karyncia Joseph, Yende Grell and Denzel Coipel in years to come. They are now enrolled at our pre-primary, primary and secondary schools.<\/p>\n

We must have the will and commitment to provide our top CSEC performers of 2012 who are now in Form Four with the opportunity to begin the CAPE.<\/p>\n

CAPE is just as important AS CSME, CCJ, OECS Economic Union among other Caribbean initiatives for our national and regional growth and development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is indeed pathetic, unfortunate and unacceptable to criticize CXC\u2019s Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) as our regional post-secondary examination while embracing CXC\u2019s CSEC.
