Reports surfaced last week that the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) is considering the suspension of four subjects at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Exam (CAPE) levels. The subjects in question are Agricultural Science (the double major is up for discontinuation, students still have access to the general paper in Agricultural Science), Mechanical Engineering Technology, Green Engineering, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering.<\/p>\n

The suspension of these subjects is expected to take effect in September 2025. Dr. Wayne Wesley, the CEO of CXC, has stated that this decision was made due to a decrease in student engagement. There have been reactions from several regional educational factions, however, reportedly schools in the region can still request these suspended subjects, albeit at an additional cost.<\/p>\n

In response to concerns raised by stakeholders regarding the premature release of correspondence to Ministries of Education regarding syllabus suspension, CXC, via a statement today, has acknowledged the situation and the anxiety it may have caused, and the organization has scheduled a meeting with the Ministers of Education and plans to\u00a0 address these concerns and provide a comprehensive update to the public through a future press release.<\/p>\n

According to today’s statement, CXC seeks to reassure stakeholders that all necessary actions will be taken in the best interest of all involved parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
